Once Upon a Time...When We Were Colored

"Tim Reid's African-American coming-of-age film Once Upon a Time When We Were Colored comes to DVD with a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. A closed-captioned English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Surround. There are no subtitles on this release. Supplemental materials are limited to a theatrical trailer. This disc offers a competent presentation of an underlooked film and should appeal to anyone looking for something outside of the Hollywood mainstream."
