Wednesday, February 17th, starting 7:30 at the Maysles Cinema. Men of Bronze, Directed by William Miles, 1977, 60 min. Men of Bronze is the definitive story of black American soldiers of the 369th U.S. combat regiment, the 15th Infantry from New York, know as the "Harlem Hellfighters," who served with the French army in World War I. The film uses photographs, interviews with veterans, and film from the French and American national Archives to recount the saga of the "Harlem Hellfighters," offering an inspiring tribute to these unsung heroes and an unforgettable look at World War I. These guys had to train with broomsticks in Morningside Park and Central Park because the army couldn't or wouldn't give them the support at the time!
