Poster unavailableSynopsis
The great Paul Robeson – American stage star, activist, and later a key presence in British cinema – made his film debut in this landmark work by pioneering Black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux. Body and Soul features an all-Black cast, with Robeson in a remarkable dual role: a ruthless escaped convict posing as a reverend to exploit his congregation, and the preacher’s upright long-lost twin brother.
