Ava DuVernay’s Array Classics brings Haile Gerima’s Ashes and Embers to Netflix
Array Releasing premieres Haile Gerima’s rarely-screened 1982 drama about a Vietnam war veteran struggling to come to terms with his role in the war and as a Black man in America – “Ashes and Embers.” The restored film is being released through a new initiative known as Array Classics, which has been created to introduce underseen and under-appreciated works of cinema to new audiences.
