Cane River at Cinema Detroit

Cane River

Coming Soon to
Cinema Detroit

90 mins | Rated TBC

Directed by Horace Jenkins

Starring Tommye Myrick, Richard Romain, Carol Sutton


Cinema Detroit is excited to be the only theatre in the city to be screening this newly re-discovered and remastered gem of African American cinema!

Written, produced, and directed by Emmy Award-winning documentarian, Horace B. Jenkins, and crafted by an entirely African American cast and crew, CANE RIVER is a racially-charged love story in Natchitoches Parish, a “free community of color” in Louisiana. A budding, forbidden romance lays bare the tensions between two black communities, both descended from slaves but of disparate opportunity—the light-skinned, property-owning Creoles and the darker-skinned, more disenfranchised families of the area.

This lyrical, visionary film disappeared for decades after Jenkins died suddenly following the film’s completion, robbing generations of a talented, vibrant new voice in African American cinema. Available now for the first time in forty years in a brand-new, state-of-the-art 4k restoration.
