Paris Noir - African Americans in the City of Light is the most comprehensive and compelling documentary on the remarkable migration of pioneering African Americans who sought freedom from America's strife and found acceptance and great achievement abroad. Beginning with World War 1 soldiers, the film weaves together the contributions and influence of writers, musicians, intellectuals, entertainers and artists in Paris of the 1920s to 1950s.
