A Grand Classic of Black Cimema brilliantly directed by Gordon Parks!!! Being the first feature to be directed by black man for a major film studio,this film shows 1920's Kansas as a brutal,hostile racist place. Brilliant performance throughout.
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "The Learning Tree" !
