Description:
Virginia Tech's Newman Library hosts a special viewing of the documentary "Baadasssss Cinema: A Bold Look at 70’s Blaxploitation Films" as part of their series for Black History Month in the second floor classroom (Newman 207A).

Light refreshments will be served (popcorn) and discussion will follow each film. All are invited to attend.

In this groundbreaking documentary from the Independent Film Channel, filmmaker Isaac Julien takes us back to the early 70's and the explosion of blaxploitation films, today one of American cinema's most beloved cult genres. Featuring a wealth of footage from such classic films as Superfly and Shaft, and interviews with such key players as Richard Roundtree, Quentin Tarantino, and Pam Grier, BaadAsssss Cinema gets to the bottom of exactly what helped the blaxploitation genre achieve its revered cult status.
