In an act of desperation, Jimmy and Luther plan a scheme to blackmail a wealthy doctor, but it doesn't take long for them to realize that they've picked the wrong man to fool with. Soon the duo are locked in a deadly chase, with the police, the mob, and a violent lunatic all on their trail -- and the police are the least likely to kill them on sight. Blackmale also stars Roger Rees, Sascha Knopf, and Erik Dellums. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

The Vanishing Black Male: Hisani DuBose's doc is brave in its quest, and brimming with tough love in its candid scrutiny of the dilemma of the destructive and disappearing black male from society.
