Full Plot Details

A documentary look at the confluence of the Red scare, McCarthyism, and blacklists with the post-war activism by African Americans seeking more and better roles on radio, television, and stage. It begins in Harlem, measures the impact of Paul Robeson and the campaign to bring him down, looks at the role of HUAC, J. Edgar Hoover and of journalists such as Ed Sullivan, and ends with a tribute to Canada Lee. Throughout are interviews with men and women who were there, including Dick Campbell of the Rose McLendon Players and Fredrick O'Neal of the American Negro Theatre. In the 1940s and 1950s, anti-Communism was one more tool to maintain Jim Crow and to keep down African-Americans.

User Review - 10/10 by AJ RWhat an EXCELLENT documentary! I had watched it a few days ago on IFC channel. I had never heard of the three individuals-Paul Robeson, Hazel Scott, and Canada Lee- explained until I had seen the documentary. In addition, I had learned of the struggles and courage that brown skin (or African American) actresses/actors faced during their time as well.
User Review - 10/10 by Marian DIn case you think "Entourage" shows a fascinating side of Hollywood, SMN shows another, and this one's nonfiction. And why does "cast" list men only?? The late actress Rosetta LeNoire (Rosetta Burton) is a main interviewee (she played the Grandmother on TV's "Family Matters") and shares most of the first-person stories. Also interviewed, the brilliant, beautiful, courageous (blacklisted) performer Hazel Scott's son, Adam Clayton Powell III. A helluva documentary about the same political repression more and more of us are living, right now, today.
User Review - 8/10 by Tanya BVery good doc chronicling black actors and entertainers who were rolled over by HUAC and McCarthy, such as Paul Robeson and Canada Lee.
