Once Upon a Time in Harlem
“You are cordially invited to a film 50 years in the making.”
A decade after his death, genre-defying filmmaker William Greaves has one last trick up his sleeve with what he considered the most important event he captured on film: a 1972 party he engineered with the living luminaries of the Harlem Renaissance.
