Ya damn right!
Rokumentti is bringing some groovy, early '70s black crime cinema to the big screen! Shaft is a solid cornerstone of the so-called "blaxploitation" genre, showcasing a black action hero front and center for the very first time back in the day.
The plot’s as smooth as it is simple: a Harlem crime boss hires the cool, tough, and sharp-as-a-blade private eye, played by Richard Roundtree, to track down his kidnapped daughter. Along the way, bad guys get what's coming to them, and the ladies? Well, they just can’t resist. And let’s not forget the legendary soundtrack by Isaac Hayes, full of scorching funk, which nabbed him a Grammy and an Oscar for that iconic theme song.
