Summary:
The
Black
Kungfu
Experience
traces the rise of
black
kungfu
in the United States in the 1960s and 1970s to the martial arts scene of today. Chinese and African American experiences evolve differently yet converge; they challenge political and social persecution. The film focuses on a group of African American pioneers. Their stories illustrate how the legacy of
kungfu
is less about flash and style, and more about community, identity, and cross-cultural bridges.
