series Fight the Power: Black Superheroes on Film
Directed by Frank Packard | 1977
With Tobar Mayo, J. Walter Smith, Roxie Young
A black revolutionary (Mayo) is transformed into an indestructible, telekinetic man of steel who sets about unleashing justice of biblical proportions upon a racist white suburb. This wildly entertaining, shoestring-shot film mixes blaxploitation antics with subversive commentary on racial integration, class, and political corruption.
