Gordon Parks, Jr. was a photographer from Minneapolis who had trained as a cinematographer under his father when he convinced a group of African American investors from Harlem to pool their money into a Blaxploitation movie. Using a cast and crew that was by and large African American and Puerto Rican, Parks and Blaxploitation star Ron O’Neal shot to fame with 1972’s Super Fly, a sordid tale about Harlem cocaine dealer Youngblood Priest who cooks up a plan to go straight. But Priest’s plans go awry when his black business partners and his white suppliers decide that his retirement isn’t in their best interests.
