Cane River

Thursday, November 12, 2020 at 12:01am to 11:59pm

Virtual Event

1982 > USA > Directed by Horace B. Jenkins
With Tommye Myrick, Richard Romain
Written, produced, and directed by Emmy Award-winning documentarian, Horace B. Jenkins, and crafted by an entirely African American cast and crew, Cane River is a racially-charged love story in Natchitoches Parish, a "free community of color" in Louisiana. A budding, forbidden romance lays bare the tensions between two black communities, both descended from slaves but of disparate opportunity - the light-skinned, property-owning Creoles and the darker-skinned, more disenfranchised families of the area.
