Makes me want to see some of those Robeson films. The guy seems like a pretty great person who got really shafted by cold war/civil rights era politics. On the one hand it feels like there's enough material for a feature, but it's still very informative and densely packed.

Pretty light, but Robeson seems an interesting enough person that makes you want to learn more, so it's not necessarily a bad thing. Interesting that a lot of his movies seem to have been British.
