30th Anniversary Tribute Poster

DEAD PRESIDENTS Released October 4th 1995

Directed by The Hughes Brothers

Exploring the 1970’s Blaxploitation movie poster vibes on this one. Focusing on N’Bushe’s Delilah Benson character preparing for the storm in her dumpster & touching on the chaos that was Vietnam, always looming in the background. This film sheds light on the American black experience of going to war & coming home only to survive & struggle with the aftermath & consequences of the turbulent time in American history.  I saw this one in the theatre & it has always remained one of my favourite films of the 90s.

Hell of a soundtrack too!
