Summary "Blaxploitalian 100 years of blackness in Italian cinema", a diasporic, hybrid, critical, and cosmopolitan dimension documentary that uncovers the careers of a population of entertainers seldom heard from before: Black actors in Italian cinema. BlaxploItalian cleverly disclosed the personal struggles classic Afro-Italian and African diasporic actors faced, correlating it with contemporary actors who work diligently to find respectable and significant roles.
