### **ABOUT THE FILM:** Robert Goodwin wrote, produced and directed this lost gem of American independent cinema. Opening during a tense meeting between members of an underground Black Power group that leads to a stunning foot chase, Goodwin’s film weaves past and present to tell the story of the social awakening of a character only referred to as “the drifter” (screen legend Bernie Casey in his first starring role!). Shot on both 35mm and video and boasting a fierce, early performance from L.A. Rebellion icon Barbara O. Jones, BLACK CHARIOT is a fascinatingly iconoclastic revelation. Though world-premiered at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium in 1971, BLACK CHARIOT has remained under-screened for decades — until now. FORMAT: DCP DISTRIBUTOR: Kino Lorber COUNTRY: USA
