The movie Personal Problems, a film entirely conceived and produced by black people ensemble drama is the result of a collaboration of a pair of pioneering black artists: writer Ishmael Reed and filmmaker Bill Gunn, who wrote and directed the underground classic Ganja & Hess and wrote the screenplay for Hal Ashby’s The Landlord.
Originally intended to air on public television in 1980, it went unseen for many years; the original tapes have been carefully restored by Kino Lorber and Personal Problems is now available in its full-length version for the first time in decades!
