Unseen for 35 years, RIVERBEND (1989) screens from an original 35mm print for a one-night-only revival! Produced and co-written by Sam and Valerie Vance and directed by Sam Firstenberg (AMERICAN NINJA), this explosive action-drama stars Steve James and Oscar nominee Margaret Avery in a story of Black Vietnam soldiers who turn military training into a fight for justice. A rare cinematic rediscovery presented by Reelblack Renaissance.
