We cover two films from Oscar Micheaux (Within Our Gates, Body and Soul) in our latest director's spotlight. Within Our Gates, released in 1919, is the earliest surviving movie from an African American director. Body and Soul features the debut of Paul Robeson.
Both films, as well as a handful of Micheaux's work, are streaming on Criterion Channel.
