The brutality of American slavery is examined in this controversial film which was removed from American theaters within days after it premiered in the 1970's. It shows in graphic detail the violence, degradation and "seasoning" process that slaves had to endure under the most inhumane conditions imaginable. 
          It was advertised as The first motion picture based on historical facts about the rise and revolt of slavery in America. It became one of the most reviled and misunderstood films of its time. Written edited produced and directed by Gualtiero Jacopetti and Franco Prosperi this epic recreation of the American slave trade atrocities was both condemned as depraved exploitation and acclaimed as an unprecedented cry of Black anguish and rage. The Detroit Chronicle hailed it as a graphic moving nerve-paralyzing film. Legendary film critic Pauline Kael called it the most specific and rabid incitement of the race war. Three decades cannot diminish GOODBYE UNCLE TOM s impact or quiet its controversy.
