YOUR RATING

Mike Anderson is a senior at the quintessential New-England liberal arts school, Frost College. And Mike is eight weeks away from graduation. On this particular day he has his African-American Literature class with his favorite professor. But today, Mike is feeling sadness. He's feeling isolated. He's feeling Angry. The film explores the development of young minds in the modern world? What are the big questions? What are the fears? These conversations build over the course of the film until, finally, Mike loses it.
Taking place in real time, "1 Angry Black Man," provides a voyeuristic view of the difficult conversations young people engage in. As they navigate the society in which they live, the students draw from the intellect of master writers such as James Baldwin, Zora Neale Hurston, August Wilson and Ta-Nehisi Coates. Through their old books they find modern solutions, uncover new questions, and push the political boundaries, forcing each other to reckon with the truths they keep hidden in the dark.

Timely and On Point

This is a wonderful demonstration of what young generations can do to shape history. The striking use of classic writers to move the story is outstanding.

Topical and powerful

Very topical and powerful film that I will be thinking about for the next few days. Offers a perspective that the average person may not consider.
