Named after an incendiary single by Public Enemy, the film uses its rap soundtrack to both comment on and drive its narrative, part of a sensibility in which American, British, and African cultures collide and the past, present, and future collapse. In this prescient work, Onwurah builds a visionary, Afrofuturist cosmology that connects the history of slavery to modern-day systemic racial brutality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew 2K digital restoration, supervised and approved by cinematographer Alwin H.
