Paul Robeson is a world-famous actor, singer and civil
rights campaigner. When he gets too radical and outspoken for the
establishment's liking, he is branded a traitor to his country, is harassed,
and denied opportunities to perform or travel.
This roller-coaster
journey through Robeson’s remarkable life highlights how his pioneering and
heroic political activism led many to describe him as the forerunner of the
civil rights movement. It features some famous songs (including a dramatic
rendition of Ol’ Man River), speeches, and a spectacularly defiant testimony
to the US Senate House Un-American Activities Committee in the 1950s.
