Nationtime is the only substantive record of the first national African-American political convention, held in Gary, Indiana, in 1972. Greaves: “Nationtime was narrated by Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier. It had Dick Gregory, Richard Hatcher, Jesse Jackson, Isaac Hayes, a whole array of black figures speaking militantly about the liberation of black America… I approached all the major networks, put 45,000 of my personal dollars into it, and Nationtime never saw the light of day.” Just Doin’ It is a cinéma vérité exploration of two very different barbershops in Atlanta, Georgia.
