Unlike the "black cast" films produced within the Hollywood studio system, these films not only starred African Americans but were funded, written, produced, edited, distributed, and often exhibited by people of color. Entrepreneurial filmmakers built an industry apart from the Hollywood establishment, cultivating visual and narrative styles that were uniquely their own.DVD, NTSC, region 1; screen ratios vary; Dolby digital 2.0.National Film Registry selection, 1991: Blood of Jesus.National Film Registry selection, 1992: Within our gates.
