- Summary:
- Paris Noir - African Americans in the City of Light' is the most comprehensive and compelling documentary on the remarkable migration of pioneering African Americans who sought freedom from America's strife and found acceptance and great achievement abroad. Beginning with World War 1 soldiers, the film weaves together the contributions and influence of writers, musicians, intellectuals, entertainers and artists in Paris of the 1920s to 1950s. One film festival director calls it "an important history-based film that still reverberates in today's racialized climate". 'Paris Noir' is suitable for all ages and audiences.
