The Baron
A black actor tries to make his own movie with an all-black cast, but to make it he's forced to borrow money from the Mafia. Complications ensue.
My takeA scrappy underdog drama that crackles with hustle and ambition. Watch a visionary trying to beat the system from the inside—until the system fights back. Gritty, tense, and unapologetically of its time.
