A Raisin in the Sun description Lorraine Hansberry's play is given sensitive treatment by filmmaker Daniel Petrie (The Bay Boy). Sidney Poitier heads a fine cast in the story of an African American family in Chicago who are struggling with mixed aspirations, not enough money, conflicts over religion, and institutional racism. The film is pretty much set-bound (as plays adapted for the screen sometimes are), but the drama is intense and moving. --Tom Keogh |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | "Raisin" doesn't wither with age!! |
| A Raisin In The Sun is one of America's greatest tributes to cinema. In a time when racial tension was high, Lorraine Hansberry's tender and telling portrayal of a family (not necessarily a black family) and it's dreams surrounding a large sum of money soon to be coming in the mail, is heartwarming and full of hope in the midst of despair.
I showed this film to my predominantly white group of High schoolers in two sittings and they were very much "into" the play and wanted to know what happened to the family. We had a discussion group and small quiz afterward and I awarded the video to the winner. |
