Description:
"Ashes and Embers," an original screenplay by Haile Gerima, follows a Vietnam veteran grappling with his experiences in the war and his identity as a Black man in America years later. He works odd jobs in Washington, D.C., and lives with his girlfriend and her son. Facing criticism for his withdrawn behavior from them and a mentor, he often retreats to the streets or his grandmother's home in rural Virginia. Her advice and his memories prompt further escapes to Los Angeles, where he encounters shallow people lacking empathy. Ultimately, the wisdom of his friends and grandmother help him overcome bitterness and become a confident man.
