This film consists of five segments which interweave archival footage with interviews to highlight aspects of Miami's history. The segments are: On Flagler Street--about the old movie palaces; Down on Second Avenue--the Black entertainment mecca of the 1920's and 1930's; Waiting at the station--the railroad; Night lights--a family of neon sign makers; On the river--Plato Cook and commerce on the Miami river.
Directed by Corky Irick, Mel Kiser, A Few Things I Know About Miami leans on a strong ensemble — Jimmy Barnett, Ralph Renick, Clyde Killens — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 1986.
