“Pride has been condemned as a tool of the arrogant. Well, speaking for many black men, we plead guilty as charged and we haven’t even started on the other six sins yet,” says Nelson George, a prize-winning American author. Together with some of the top names from the A-list of America’s most celebrated black men, including Blaxploitation director Gordon Parks and hip-hop star Puff Daddy, George defines pride as a necessary tool of survival for people otherwise regarded with fear or treated with contempt. Shot on location in New York, Pride uses the mixed media formats of Beta and Super-8 film to produce a fast-moving, promo-style film guaranteed to ruffle some feathers.
