Once Upon a Time in Harlem

By David Greaves, William Greaves

Synopsis

In 1972, William Greaves brought togeth­er the liv­ing lumi­nar­ies of the Harlem Renais­sance. Draw­ing on this extra­or­di­nary gath­er­ing, the doc­u­men­tary explores the mean­ing of this remark­able cre­ative peri­od, how cul­ture is passed from one gen­er­a­tion to anoth­er, and the role artists play in keep­ing it alive.
