	N'Diangane (1974)	Lawrence L. Smallwood, Jr.	[N'Diangane] is unquestionably political, but its focus is religion with both religion and politics juxtaposed in a total cultural matrix. The film's director presents us with resonant verity in locales that honk, cry, scream and clank life! Posted Sep 25, 2020 Edit critic review
	America: From Hitler to M-X (1983)	Stephen DeGange	Joan Harvey's second feature length documentary is a careful examination of America's economic and military behavior in the post-Depression era. Posted Sep 25, 2020 Edit critic review
	Uptown Saturday Night (1974)	Donald Bogle	We should continue to demand, expect, and fight for much more from our movies. But we should never let ourselves be content with yesterday's warmed up left-overs. And, unfortunately, that's just what Uptown Saturday Night is. Posted Sep 23, 2020 Edit critic review
	King: A Filmed Record... Montgomery to Memphis (1970)	Jim Williams	The excellent three-hour documentary film added quantity to our knowledge of the life and time of "the beginner" Martin Luther King, Jr. We need a great dramatist and/or a great biographer who will give us his true quality.

	Lorraine Hansberry: The Black Experience in the Creation of Drama (1975)	Sarah E. Wright	The effect of exposing oneself to even a part of [Hansberry's] creative work and thinking is that of uncommon exhilaration. She was a lover enchanted by the courtship with life itself. This was never more apparent than in [this] 35-minute film biography. Posted Sep 03, 2020 Edit critic review
	Yol (1982)	Jane Power	To find out about Turkey's people and about the Anatolian terrain that nourishes and menaces them, see Yol. Posted Sep 03, 2020 Edit critic review
	The Wild Bunch (1969)	Jean Carey Bond	It has canonized, for our enjoyment and monstrous edification, the freak-out. Posted Jul 16, 2020 Edit critic review
	Z (1969)	Jim Williams	[Director Costa-Gavras's] handling of the Lambrakis facts resulted in an uptempo, taut, jazzy type movie designed to hold the interest of even Hollywood-conditioned, mystery-action addicts. Posted Jul 15, 2020 Edit critic review
	Countdown at Kusini (1976)	Keith E. Baird	Past the visual pleasure and beyond the emotional excitement created by Manu Dibango's thrilling musical score, there is a message of pride in Africanity not immediately discerned perhaps, but nevertheless, unmistakably communicated.
