Description:

The experience of black people in Philadelphia, ironically named City of Brotherly Love, is probed by "The Public Eye" in a film produced, directed and narrated by C. Alexander Brown. Film footage of "To Be Black in Philadelphia" includes: black ghettos; demonstrations against slum landlords; a neighborhood rat control project; a child with lead poisoning; doctors examining charts indicating that heaviest areas of rat bites are in ghetto areas; housing developments; integrated suburban areas; black children being 'bused' to schools outside their neighborhoods; and blacks working with whites in the army and the police force. Interview segments with teachers of integrated classes; members of two black gangs recently involved in a violent confrontation; and a discussion among black community leaders, suggest that discrimination is at the root of the problems depicted. <60mn>
