Review

New York Times, 02/13/2007, p.E5, "NATIVE LAND is some kind of great movie....As the unseen narrator, Robeson lends his powerful voice and rhythmic phrasing..."

Sight and Sound, 06/01/2007, p.84, "[I]t's a fascinating package that can't help but shed much valuable light on one of the last century's most complex and contradictory careers."

USA Today, 02/16/2007, p.3E, "[T]his classy set offers context by packaging a spiffier-looking THE EMPEROR JONES with five other features."

Product Notes

This excellent Criterion Collection DVD set provides a definitive portrait of the trailblazing African-American figure Paul Robeson. As a singer, scholar, athlete, actor, and social activist, Robeson was not only a renaissance man, he transcended the endless social and racial barriers of the time. This in-depth documentary gives a full picture of the man, and includes audio commentary, interviews, and clips from Robeson's films.
