synopsis
Like its predecessors Homo Promo and Trailer Camp, this cheeky documentary is entirely comprised of film trailers, those coming attractions ads that precede feature film showings in commercial theaters. This time the subject is African-American cinema, and the 32 trailers chronicle the '40s (Song of the South) through the heyday of '70s blaxploitation films (Cleopatra Jones and Shaft).
