Native Son
Starring: Richard Wright, Jean Wallace
Director: Pierre Chenal
Now on video in its original uncut form, Native Son is a moving drama depicting racism in the 1940's.
It is the story of Bigger Thomas, a young black man hopelessly caught in a web of political and economic oppression.
His personal fustration leads him to acts of violence and passion -- all with tragic ending -- that touch on the
inequalities of the human condition.
When the novel Native Son was first published in 1940, it generated an overwhelmingly wide spectrum of reactions,
and has been the subject of much debate ever since. It is still one of the great works of American literature, and
this screen adaptation, starring its author Richard Wright, should be seen by all.
