CENTURY CITY, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 14, 2023--
On Saturday, November 18, 2023, the Montgomery Film Festival is screening “Black Uniform,” a newly completed documentary directed by filmmaker Robert Darwell, featuring the voices of 12 Black veterans who served within the ranges of WWII to present day. These servicemembers speak on why they enlisted and what they’ve given to their country. This important film, which has won top awards at numerous film festivals around the country, shares their heartfelt perspectives on what it felt like to be on the proverbial front lines as a Black man or woman in the U.S. military – including during segregated service; the draft; the nation’s shifting views on those who serve; and the additional challenges faced by women who serve.
