"We are a mighty nation!!" Kino Lorber has revealed a trailer for a long lost, finally-found-and-restored documentary film from 1972 titled Nationtime. The film, made by acclaimed Black filmmaker William Greaves, is a report on the National Black Political Convention held in Gary, IN in 1972, a historic event that gathered a powerful selection of Black voices from across the political spectrum, among them Jesse Jackson, Dick Gregory, Coretta Scott King, Richard Hatcher, Amiri Baraka, Charles Diggs, and H. Carl McCall. A cut down 60-minute version aired on TV years ago. The original version was found in a Pittsburgh warehouse in 2018, restoring the film to its original 80-minute length and colorful visual quality 48 years after the convention took place. It's narrated by Sidney Poitier, combined with poems recited by Harry Belafonte. Bobby Seale said at the Convention, "Revolution is about the right for the humanity of Black people in this country here and across the world to survive." This looks outstanding! A must watch doc film. ›››
