Old Negro Space Program

April 18, 2006 by Sam Sloan   || Category: Film

In 1957 or ‘58, a group of unknown men had a dream that mere mortals would dare think possible. This extraordinary film is a tribute to the courage of the Old Negro Space Program…or Blackstronauts, if you will.

In 2004, this won the Best Film Award at the First Sundays Film Festival. It was also an official selection at the HBO Aspen Comedy Festival and the Calgary International Film Festival.

This one is a couple of years old but is so classically funny and satirical while at the same time taking an edgy and biting look at racism in 1950’s and 1960’s America, that I had to share it with you all.

Download and watch the movie at the iFilm Official Website.

    Love it. Wish/hope it will show up on, say, PBS so more people can see it.
