No Regrets: A Celebration of Marlon Riggs
Description: 

“I Shall Not Be Removed traces [Riggs’s] development from a precocious childhood in the close-knit African American community of Fort Worth, Texas, through his political awakening at Harvard, to his final years as a courageous advocate for free expression and on behalf of stigmatized people everywhere. Clips from all eight of Marlon’s films show how he evolved a unique experimental documentary style, mixing poetry and criticism, the personal and the political.”
