The tumultuous life of the controversial 1960s black revolutionary (and convicted murderer) Michael X is illustrated by a kaleidoscopic melding of sound and images. The radically discordant free jazz soundtrack provides a surreal counterpoint to the mix of newsreel and staged footage in this exhilarating experiment in documentary storytelling.
Who Needs a Heart was directed by John Akomfrah.
Who Needs a Heart runs for 1h 20min, and was released in 1991.
