Plot
Men travel to the Million Man March.
Sinekatalog’s take
Spike Lee's road drama follows a bus of men travelling to the Million Man March. Talky and warm, with a strong ensemble including Ossie Davis, it is a thoughtful, sometimes preachy look at Black masculinity and community.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
