“1 Angry Black Man” tells the story of Mike Anderson, a senior at a New England liberal arts college.
After an erroneous arrest for a crime he did not commit, Mike’s story transitions to a day on his college campus where, as he heads to his African-American literature class, he continues to grapple with his unconscionable arrest.
Mike’s emotions threaten to boil over during a discussion that scrutinizes several prolific authors and activists, from James Baldwin to Zora Neale Hurston.
The film becomes an existential conversation among college intellectuals about gender dynamics, racism and class, as well as an empirical study of the works of these iconic Black writers.
Along with Keith Stone as Mike, other actors appearing in the film include Miguel A. Núñez, Jr. (“Life”), Amanda Jane Stern (“Amish Witches: The True Story of Holmes County”), Tim Moriarty (“Manifest”), Ramon Nuñez (“New Amsterdam,” “Bull”) and Daphne Danielle (upcoming “God The Worm”).
