WENDELL B. HARRIS in person
Directed by Wendell Harris, appearing live at the screening
Based on the true story of an amazing con man, William Douglas Street (Wendell B. Harris, Jr.) exchanges his dead-end life for a brand-new identity. In fact, many new identities...reporter, doctor, lawyer, Detroit Tiger! He becomes whatever he can to make some money, and soon his life is turned upside down.
Grand Jury Award winner at the 1990 Sundance Film Festival, this film was acquired and shelved. Films like Catch Me If You Can followed in it's wake and Wendell Harris seemed never to have been heard from again, until NOW.
A panel discussion will take place after the film about the state of Black Independent Cinema today, where it has been, where it is going, or is it just a dead issue.
