<p>One of the most controversial novels of its day, Richard Wright’s Native Son (first published in 1940) exposed the injustices of urban African-American life, witnessed through the eyes of Bigger Thomas, whose violent tendencies and moral confusion were the natural resuIt of a lifetime of deprivation. In prison for murder and sentenced to death, Thomas reflects on the circumstances that led to his fate. Kino Lorber presents a new restoration of the 1951 fiIm version of the novel, directed by Pierre Chenal and starring Richard Wright as Bigger Thomas. lt is presented in association with the Library of Congress, Fernando Martin Peña and Argentina Sono Film. When it was initiaIly reIeased in the U.S., Native Son was heaviIy censored by regional state/municipal censor boards where it played. A compIete 16mm print of the original Argentinian reIease and an incomplete 35mm dupIicate 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>
