Retail will be $24.95, but It is available at ClassicFlix.com for just $19.99.
Based on the landmark memoir by John Howard Griffin, Black Like Me stars James Whitmore as Griffin, who medically altered his pigment and, with the help of a sunlamp, reinvented himself as an itinerant black writer navigating his way through Mississippi and Alabama. Along the way he experienced firsthand both crushing racism and the incredible life force of the Afro-American communities.
Thanks to a full restoration from the original negative, this is the first time Black Like Me has been released on DVD.
