I met Ivan Dixon and gave him his respect for having the guts to make that film back in the day. He was floored that I knew all the details of the film. He told me he usually got approached with Hogan's Heroes comments in the street.

There's another underground hard to find flick y'all got to find: The Black Klansman. Its a black & white film from the '60s about a light skinned black man in LA whose daughter is killed by a klansman's firebomb at a church in his old Mississippi hometown. He straightens his hair and heads down south, passes for white, joins/infiltrates the Klan to get revenge on the Grand Dragon. In the meantime, he gets with the Grand Dragon's daughter. The film's supporting cast includes a younger Whitman "Grady" Mayo and a younger Max "The Mack" Julien. This is a must see.....you won't believe it was shot in the early 60's.
