The Spook Who Sat by the Door

A black man plays Uncle Tom in order to gain access to CIA training, then uses that knowledge to plot a new American Revolution.

"Their first mistake was letting him in. Their biggest mistake was letting him out!"

a black man plays uncle tom to infiltrate the CIA and then uses the acquired skills to form an urban guerilla movement. very avant-garde, supposedly was banned for a while.

surprisingly good direction and performances, solid technicals, and the obligatory slice-of-life moments from that era.
