Description
3 film reels (106 min.) : sd., b&w; 16 mm.
Summary
A 14 year old boy needs a gun so that he can become the leader of his gang in this study of black teenagers in Harlem. Although adapted from a novel, the film uses mainly non-professional actors and has the feel of rough authenticity. Clarke was also concerned, in the filming and editing, with rhythmic patterns which reflect her earlier interests in experimental dance films.
