The Problem of the Hero

Film Screening in Conjunction with the Santa Fe Film Festival

In 1940, author Richard Wright turns to Pulitzer Prize winning playwright Paul Green to help adapt his best-selling book, Native Son, into a Broadway play. A friendship between the two develops – they debate and collaborate for several weeks to adapt the story of Bigger Thomas, a young black man who accidentally but brutally kills a white woman in her bedroom. As rehearsal continues around them, led by Orson Welles, the resulting argument – delving into race, class, politics, and personal story – seems destined to dissolve their friendship.
