I am really looking forward to this. I was a fan of Kasi Lemmons after she appeared as Ardelia Mapp in "The Silence of the Lambs" and more so after she turned out the gothic drama "Eve's Bayou" one of those films I had not heard of living in London that I stumbled on and LOVED!!!I even enjoyed her second feature "The Caveman's Valentine" and thought it had some very interesting ideas so I am thinking that this film and subject, with this cast should pay off for a highly entertaining film.
The Premise goes:
The true life story of Ralph Waldo "Petey" Greene Jr. In the mid-to-late 1960s, in Washington, D.C., vibrant soul music and exploding social consciousness were combining to unique and powerful effect. It was the place and time for Petey to fully express himself - sometimes to outrageous effect - and "tell it like it is. With the support of his irrepressible and tempestuous girlfriend Vernell, the newly minted ex-con talks his way into an on-air radio gig. As Petey's voice, humor, and spirit surge across the airwaves with the vitality of the era, listeners tune in to hear not only incredible music but also a man speaking directly to them about race and power in America like few people ever have.
