Adaptation of the famous play, which was turned into a film – a black version of the Old Testament, including the Garden of Eden, Cain and Abel, and Noah's Ark. It won the Pulitzer Prize, probably for audacity more than anything else. It's certainly interesting, albeit episodic (there's lots of singing); I don't feel qualified to discuss the racial politics, other than to point out it at least gave black actors some work. The cast includes Juano Hernandez.
