A girl pries open a trunk and discovers her barber uncle (Robert Guillaume) was a pioneer black filmmaker of the 1940s.

Tony Scott

Variety

A shot at a strong, informative if fictional look at early black filmmakers and the white disregard of their talents is frittered away by writer Daryl G. Nickens' overly extended teleplay, by Helaine Head's loose direction and by overacting.
