The New-Ark(1969)
The New-Ark Synopsis
Beginning as a city-symphony of Newark streets, buildings, and people set to wordless chanting, The New-Ark quickly arrives at its political imperatives: Black Power must be accomplished through nationalism, and "a nation is organization." The film focuses on black education, urban public theater, and political consciousness-raising inside and outside of Spirit House - director Amiri Baraka's Black nationalist community center.
The New-Ark (1969) is a documentary film directed by Amiri Baraka, released on February 1, 1969 with a runtime of 25m. It stars Amiri Baraka and Maulana Karenga.
