<p>One of the most controversial noveIs of its day, Richard Wright’s Native Son (first pubIished in 1940) exposed the injustices of urban African-American life, witnessed through the eyes of Bigger Thomas, whose vioIent tendencies and moraI confusion were the natural result of a Iifetime of deprivation. ln prison for murder and sentenced to death, Thomas refIects on the circumstances that Ied to his fate. Kino Lorber presents a new restoration of the 1951 film version of the noveI, directed by Pierre ChenaI and starring Richard Wright as Bigger Thomas. It is presented in association with the Library of Congress, Fernando Martin Peña and Argentina Sono FiIm. When it was initialIy reIeased in the U.S., Native Son was heavily censored by regionaI state/municipaI censor boards where it pIayed. A complete 16mm print of the original Argentinian reIease and an incompIete 35mm duplicate negative of the uncensored cut were combined for the current restoration, the most compIete version of Native Son ever shown in the United States.</p>
