Riverbend 35th Anniversary in Denton,TX

In 1989 a small independent film was made near Dallas, Texas that challenged the status quo and showed African-Americans fighting back against their oppressors. After a brief theatrical run and home video release, it all but disappeared…until now.
In a small Georgia town white supremacy and Black power come face to face. Major Quinton (STEVE JAMES) and his men are on the lam, running from a rigged court martial. They seek refuge in the small Georgia town of Riverbend where a cruel white sheriff (TONY FRANK) is terrorizing the Black population. Bell (MARGARET AVERY) becomes their only ally in a town on the verge of exploding. Quinton is enraged by the injustice he sees. He mobilizes a secret army and formulates a brilliant plan. In one bold stroke, on one fateful night, the fight for freedom and human rights will be decided. Soon the entire world will know the name-RIVERBEND.
Virtually unseen for over 30 years, this brand new 2K restoration (made from rare 35mm elements) was supervised by director Sam Firstenberg (American Ninja) and produced by Reelblack and makes its World Premiere at the 2024 DBFF. Get tix at dentonbff.com
Filmmaker Sam Firstenberg, Debbi James (daughter of the late actor Steve James), Assistant Director Mike Shanks and Restoration Executive Producer Michael J. Dennis will be in attendance for a post film discussion about the film and the legacy of Steve James.

Am I looking at Kadeem Hardison's dad? And, Faizon Love's dad? And, whose dad is that other guy's?

See Jesus Christ, John the Baptist, Prophets and Messengers did not come to the land to teach the people how to live in the belly of the evildoers life. To use meditation to take us to a fantasy life. If you believe that, then you are not walking by faith.

Jesus never even existed. Sit down.

​@reespace
You and WHOEVER might
disagree on the content or purpose of His time here on Earth. But to straight up DENY his existence is beyond stupid. It's all the way out there where hatred nullifies the last bastion of sentient thought you may have ever had. There is more historical record- laity as well as clergy-regarding Yeshua of Nazareth's experience in the region of Palestine (literally STARTING the calendar on your refrigerator) than any single person to have ever lived) If you feel so adamant that the Messiah never appeared to mankind, thats a DEAD GIVEAWAY that His spirit is calling YOU....which should be respected as the HIGHEST honor and opportunity afforded to mortal man

[@cgonthebeat3741]

@@reespaceEven atheist historical scholars would disagree with you. I’m agnostic but to deny the existence of a human named Christ is illogical. A man named Jesus walked this earth and there are many historical accounts of this.
