Details

Truth is stranger than fiction in "Bushman," the first feature film by David Schickele and a film portrait — part document, part imagined poetic in its approach to real events. Film curator and critic Albert Johnson wrote: “One is immediately struck by the exciting juxtaposition of African outlooks and California urban life. For the first time in American cinema, an educated African elucidates in a no-nonsense manner the bewildering ineptness of American society to live humanistically.” Shot in black-and-white photography, this film is a document of San Francisco during a period, when the hippie counterculture and racial and social justice movements collided with law enforcement and conservative values.
