Story added by peterjudge04 on June 22, 2022
In 1969, highly popular American comedian Richard Pryor tried to film with debuting director Penelope Spheeris a very prophetical movie that preceded the Blaxploitation genre. The project was never completed and the remaining footage is lost or locked. However, this is how I imagine the picture. Read description for the full synopsis.read more

peterjudge04 Mr. Jefferson, a rich white businessman living in a predominantly-white suburb, is having sex with his much younger and attractive African-American maid, Eliza. During the act, a Black Panther-like militia irrupts in the household, holding Jefferson as a prisoner. Eliza reveals that they're friends of her and she called them personally. The militia is led by the calm and quiet Tom, while his second-in-command Nat is aggressive and constantly threatens to kill Jefferson. The militia puts Jefferson on trial for all the crime white America committed towards its African-American population: the Atlantic slave trade, slavery itself, the crimes of the KKK, the several lynchings, Jim Crow laws, police brutality, and, finally, the cruel assassinations of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (killed by a white criminal due to racial hatred) and Malcolm X (killed by black militants who were not actually loyal to the Black Power cause, and with probable help of the FBI). Tom sentences Jefferson to life-long slavery, putting a slave collar around the businessman's neck. However, Nat disagrees and has the idea of hanging Jefferson. Tom tries to stop him, but Nat shoots him in the face, declaring himself the leader. Despite Eliza's protests, who hates her boss but still doesn't want him to die, the angry militants hang Jefferson to a tree while chanting "John Brown's Body".
