David is joined by Jim Tudor from Zekefilm.org to discuss this recently restored document of the National Black Political Convention of 1972, now showing on the Criterion Channel.

Criterion Reflections is David Blakeslee’s ongoing project to watch all of the films included in the Criterion Collection in chronological order of their original release. This fourth season of the podcast features conversations about movies that originally premiered in 1972 and were destined to eventually receive the Criterion imprimatur. In this episode, David is joined by Jim Tudor to discuss Nationtime, directed by William Greaves.
