In the first half of the 20th Century, Oscar Micheaux emerged as one of the first major Black filmmakers in a time where Hollywood by and large turned a blind eye to them due to the prejudices of the era.

This is a Very big deal, and my archival hat if raised to Kino and all involved. I just need the time to view them. Your purchase supports film restoration and preservation.
