Bushman

Description:
In 1968, Peace Corps veteran David Schickele enlisted his friend Paul Eyam Nzie Okpokam to star in a light-hearted drama about the adventures of a well-educated Nigerian immigrant in San Francisco. Using a docu-fictional style reminiscent of John Cassavetes' Shadows (1959), Bushman observes the foibles of late-1960s African American culture with an outsider's penetrating eye. The film morphs into a documentary when the director's voice abruptly intrudes to narrate its star's fate: Okpokam was accused of a crime he did not commit and found himself at the mercy of the US justice system.
