This documentary looks at the remarkable life and activism of Paul Robeson, an African-American pioneer in the struggle for human rights. The film threads his songs, political rallies, and speeches throughout in a way that throws light on 50 years of black activism in America from the Depression years to the assassinations of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X. Insights from Paul Robeson Jr., John Henrik Clarke and Bayard Rustin accent this look at a true giant of a man; Paul Robeson, actor, singer, and international activist for freedom of oppressed people around the world.
