An era of its own. A time when American was in a transition from separatism to civil rights. The 70's was a Golden Age on so many levels and the influence echoes around the world in present day. Blaxploitation is considered in my opinion to be the coolest of cool. Touching on the most sensitive material in America at its time and exploiting them on the big screen or the vinyls in your record player produced for a glorified genre that nobody will ever be able to duplicate. Our mission at Blax-Pride is to educate those who are unfamiliar with this era and combine knowledge with those who are familiar.
Blaxploitation is a sub-genre of black cinema, which incorporates the culture of Blacks in America and world wide. Generally most blaxploitation movies were filmed in the 70s, but the research at blaxploitation pride has found that blaxploitation is not a simple as "blacks" being "exploitated" thus earning the title as blaxploitation. Blaxploitation is a science that needs to be properly broken down and delivered in a manner where one can distinguish between blaxploitation and black cinema. Blax-Pride is here to help clear any confusion and offer a wealth of information on blaxploitation and black cinema. Enjoy.

The city of New Orleans is horrified when Sandra Lee Dawson, a beautiful and popular chat show hostess is brutally murdered. Investigator Bobby Marsh ( Miami Vice's Phillip Michael Thomas ) and his lover, assisstant attorney Lynn Jacobi ( Phylicia Rashad – The Cosby Show ), are called in to get to the bottom of the attack.
Lynn and Bobby's investigations to two conflicting paths. Soon loyalty and respect for one another becomes betrayal and suspicion.
Bobby is certain that the controversial star not only preached the joys of casual sex on her show but practised them from her favourite steamy singles bar.
Lynn however believes Sandra Lees attacker is someone more eminent-a man with the power to heal and the will to destroy.
