I Am Furious Black: The Voice of La Raza & Nationtime

In The Voice of La Raza, Greaves blend interviews and staged scenes to explore the struggles of Mexican immigrants and Spanish-speaking families. Greaves works with Anthony Quinn to push the limits of documentary, using his flair for improvisation and violating the rules of the genre.

In Nationtime, Greaves follows the three-day National Black Political Convention in Indiana, capturing speeches by prominent figures such as Jesse Jackson, Coretta Scott King, Amiri Baraka, and Bobby Seale. Documenting the changing face of Black politics, it captures the mix of anger and optimism of the day. Narrated by Bahamian-American actor/director Sidney Poitier and actor Harry Belafonte.

Together, these films shed light on a politically potent time in the USA told from lesser-represented perspectives; resonating with the political turbulence of today.
