Black Caesar 18
Tommy Gibbs is a tough kid with big dreams. Sick of being victimised by crooked cops and gangsters, he decides he’s going to fight his way to the top. Tommy works his way up the criminal food chain, eventually taking on hits for the Italian mafia. Reluctantly accepted into 'The Family,' Tommy’s influence and aggression grows, eventually threatening to tear the ghetto apart in a bloody gang war.
In celebration of 50 years of Blaxploitation, the Hyde Park Picture House (HPPH) has worked in partnership with Park Circus to present a programme of films across the UK during Black History Month. This programme has been co-curated with Josiah Howard, expert in the Blaxploitation genre, and Women of the Lens Film Festival.
