For Personal Reasons
Focusing on the Civil Rights Movement and a 1970 protest in New York, For Personal Reasons was inspired by the Black Panthers and Malcolm X. An innovative mix of fact and fiction—a kind of critical fabulation—it juxtaposes militant speech with avant-garde jazz. The film won an Honorable Mention at the Grenoble Film Festival in 1973.
