From: Brendan Carroll <[email protected]> With the release by California Newsreel of the Complete Edition of works by pioneering documentarian Marlon Riggs (Ethnic Notions, Tongues Untied, Color Adjustment, Black Is... Black Ain't and other works), California Newsreel has produced a website dedicated to his important cultural legacy. In addition to study guides/transcripts on the films and interviews with Riggs, the site features the following: Commissioned essays by scholars on the continuing impact of Riggs' media work and writings on race, gender and sexuality, suggestions on how to use his films in the classroom and a link to the Marlon Riggs Papers at Stanford University. Other articles provide historical context for the reaction to his most controversial work, Tongues Untied. I Shall Not Be Removed, the only documentary on his life and work can be streamed for free on the site and there is additional information on accessing his first documentary Long Train Running: The Story of the Oakland Blues.
