“Riverbend” screening at Jengo’s Playhouse

The 1989 action drama, Riverbend, has been restored and recently praised for it’s bold political edge. A black major (played by Steve James) and his men are on the run from a rigged court-martial and hide out in a small Georgia town where a cruel white sheriff is terrorising the black population. Together with Bell Coleman (played by Margaret Avery), they formulate a bold plan to fight for freedom and human rights.
