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.
