A strong movie dealing with the sordid interracial sexual shenanigans at a Southern plantation.
A film about black slaves trade and racial discrimination in Louisiana.
Although a mediocre film, it showed the extent of racial discrimination in Louisiana in the past. Drum is a special black invented in the imagination of the film makers. On one hand he identifies discrimination, but on the other he tries to be a "good boy" with whites. When the revolt of slaves start he took the position of conciliation, which turned over when he saw his friend killed by whites. The end of the film is as incoherent as the drum's mother, a prostitute who had sexual relations with a beautiful black man.
