series Fight the Power: Black Superheroes on Film
Directed by George A. Romero | 1968
With Duane Jones, Judith O'Dea, Karl Hardman
George Romero's stunningly subversive horror milestone is more than just the mother of all zombie movies; it's a still-shocking vision of Vietnam-era America consuming itself. The oft-imitated premise—a band of strangers crawl the walls of a farmhouse while the flesh-eating undead approach—is transformed into a canny (and ultimately chilling) commentary on race by the casting the sole black actor (Jones) as the hero.
