Virtual Friday Night Films at the Wende: Paul Robeson: Here I Stand

This PBS American Masters documentary presents the life of Paul Robeson, the epitome of the 20th-century Renaissance man. The film is directed by St. Clair Bourne and narrated by Ossie Davis. Presented in conjunction with the Cold War Spaces program Anti-Racist Space: Paul Robeson Between East and West with Allison Blakely.

Watch for free on YouTube.

For more on Robeson, see our previous film picks: his silent film screen debut, Body and Soul (1925) on Kanopy or Criterion Channel, and the Academy Award-winning documentary short Paul Robeson: Tribute to an Artist (1979) on Criterion Channel.

Virtual Film Picks are inspired by the in-person Friday Night Films at the Wende program series. This selection is part of a curated list of weekly movie suggestions that can be watched at home, in conjunction with #WendeOnline.
