The Black Godfather

Crime has a conscience in the blaxploitation classic "The Black Godfather" (1974). An African-American syndicate controls much of the larceny in this neighborhood, but there's one offer they can refuse: a piece of the narcotics trade infiltrating the streets, as brokered by the white mafia gunning for their turf. Explosive action with a political edge separates this gritty urban drama from its imitators. Rod Perry stars in the title role.
