About Blacks and Jews
This documentary attempts to go beyond the sensationalized media coverage and the stereotypes to examine several key conflicts from the point of view of both Black and Jewish activists.
Directed by Deborah Kaufman, Alan Snitow, Blacks and Jews leans on a strong ensemble — Arthur Hiller, Salim Muwakkil, Richard Pryor — 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 1997.
