Sunday On The River

"Footage of black life aboard a Sunday pleasure cruise set to song"

This short begins with footage of Harlem church congregations, but focuses mainly on a chartered Hudson River boat trip; Disembarking, we see picnicks in the park and dancing in the woods. Director Gordon Hitchens founded Film Comment magazine and believed strongly in film as a marker and influencer of social progress.
