The movie 1 Angry Black Man tells the story of Mike Anderson, a senior at a quintessential New England liberal arts college who is eight weeks away from graduation, and on this particular day he is headed to his African-American literature class with his favorite professor. Grappling with an experience that forever altered his perspective, the emotions Mike is feeling today threaten to boil over during the class discussion highlighting noted authors James Baldwin and August Wilson.
1 Angry Black Man is a tense examination of boundary-pushing conversations about identity and political correctness college students are having in the modern era, forcing each other to reckon with the truths they normally keep hidden.
