In a New York basement a group of black Americans talk and sing about their lives, about the experiences that shaped their attitudes. Outside on the streets of Harlem you can see the faces of a new generation of black Americans and hear the music of Memphis Slim, Leadbelly and Jimi Hendrix

This latest film by the director of On the Bowery and Come Back Africa has been acclaimed as 'a valuable contribution to the pitifully small supply of films which treat with any integrity the black experience in America.'
