An American movie from 1984, "A Soldier's Story" takes an unflinching look at racial politics and shows a snippet of the black experience in World War II... A black officer is sent to a segregated Army base in Louisiana to solve the murder of a black sergeant. Although everyone initially blames the Klan, a more complicated picture soon emerges, as the soldiers not-so-patiently await their chance to fight Germany.
