Remember "The Cosby Show"? Ever wonder what Bill Cosby did afterwards? Here's just one of his projects. Cosby plays Blue, a man doing everything he can to buy his family a house and move them out of the ghetto. His wife Serena (played by Gloria Foster who also played Oracle in "The Matrix")works hard,too. Then their child falls ill with sickle-cell anaemia, and everything falls apart. The ending is truly, truly special.
This film was made in 1972. The plot was Bill Cosby;s idea. He acted in it, produced it, wrote the music for it. Don't think for one moment that it's a comedy - it isn't. It is a powerful, moving film; a tribute to the enduring power of the human spirit.
How on earth it never won even just one award is a puzzle which I shall never solve.
