There are clips of interviews with a number of people including, but not limited, to Harry Belafonte, Charles Burnett. Antonio Fargas, Lawrence Fishburne, Whoopi Goldberg, Samuel L. Jackson, Glynn Turman, Mario Van Peebles, and Billy Dee Williams.

Mitchell describes the impact that dozens of Black movies and Black actors made on Hollywood and the business of making movies. The scope of the movie starts earlier than the late 1960s but it does not linger in the earlier period for very long. The scope of the movie does not extend past the late 1970s except to show images of movies that were influenced by movies from the late 1960s to late 1970s.
