Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Criterion Collection: A Clip from Adventures in Moviegoing with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

That was a ploy to silence him. We hope they have not succeeded.

This is so nice to see after all the images of abdul-jabbar as a bitter man, eaten up by bitterness over race. Here we see him smiling, with real interests we can relate to and share. He's a totally different figure from the times's portrayal some time ago.

Criterion Collection: A Clip from Adventures in Moviegoing with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

 

On the Channel: Adventures in Moviegoing with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar 

nnamed_(29)_large

"It was cinema that first led Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to becoming one of America's most legendary athletes. He explains how in the latest episode of our series Adventures in Moviegoing, now streaming on the Criterion Channel on FilmStruck, which features the six-time MVP in conversation with Oscar-nominated writer-director Philip Kaufman (The Right Stuff, The Unbearable Lightness of Being). As the two find common ground in their interest in basketball, jazz, and samurai movies, Abdul-Jabbar shares stories about his lifelong love affair with the movies and his career as a basketball star. Alongside the interview, he's programmed a series of all-time favorites, including the Akira Kurosawa classics Seven Samurai, Yojimbo, and Sanjuro. In the clip below, watch him discuss what he learned from the martial codes found in some of the Japanese master's greatest films." https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/4950-on-the-channel-adventures-in-moviegoing-with-kareem-abdul-jabbar
