Description
"Michael Roemer's groundbreaking first feature, sensitively shot by his close collaborator Robert M. Young, is a still-resonant expression of humanity in the face of virulent prejudice. Made at the height of the civil rights movement, Nothing But A Man reveals the toll of systemic racism through its honest portrait of a southern Black railroad worker confronting the daily challenges of discrimination and economic precarity, as he attempts to settle down with his new wife and track down his father..." --Container.
