Event Details

The story involves a white supremacist plot to taint the US water supply with a toxin that is harmless to Whites but lethal to Blacks. The only obstacles that stand in the way of this dastardly plan are the three biggest Blaxploitation action stars of the 1970s: Jim Brown, Fred Williamson and Jim Kelly, who shoot, kick and karate chop their way to final victory. Directed by Gordon Parks, Jr., 90 minutes, USA, 1974.

Part of 9-film international screenings that speak to the themes of peacemaking, migration, resilience and reconciliation featured in the 2017 One Book San Diego selection The Sandcastle Girls by NYT bestselling novelist Chris Bohjalian. Introductions and post-screening audience discussion led by SDSU Professor and KPBS blogger Rebecca Romani.
