Film Inside Buffalo

- "inside Buffalo"
Meeting Spike Lee in Tuscany on the set of Miracle at St. Anna, African-Italian filmmaker Fred Kudjo Kuwornu was inspired to tell the true story that Lee dramatized, of the all-black 92nd Infantry Division, the "Buffalo Soldiers" who fought in Italy in World War II.
"These men fought two wars at the same time," Kuwornu says, "one against the Nazis, the other against racial discrimination. And those who survived found that their contributions went unnoticed upon their return to the United States of America."
Inside Buffalo, the documentary Kuwornu made with Patrick Jeffrey, screens Tuesday 2/2 at Noon at Kennedy-King College.
Charles Davis, a historian at the African American Military Museum, moderates a post-screening discussion.
At Kennedy-King College, 740 W. 63rd St.

I hope you’ll enjoy the novel. I wrote it from my mini-series movie of the same title, “RaPR” to keep my story alive. Hollywood has had a lot of strikes and doesn't like telling our stories...its been “his-story” of history all along…until now. The movie so far has attached, Bill Duke directing, Hill Harper, Glynn Turman and a host of other major actors in which we are in talks with…see imdb.com at; http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0925633/
When you get a chance, also please visit our Alpha Wolf Production website at; http://www.alphawolfprods.com and see our other productions, like Stagecoach Mary, the first Black Woman to deliver mail for Wells Fargo in Montana, in the 1890's, “spread the word”.
Peace.
