Two Classic Musicals Celebrating The Legendary Actor, Singer And Activist Paul Robeson

Song Of Freedom:
A soaring musical drama that explores one man's rise to fame as a concert vocalist and subsequent exploration of his African roots. Paul Robeson stars as John Zinga, a British-born stevedore who is discovered by an influential impresario and becomes a singing star. His newfound wealth and prestige allow him to return to Africa and trace his lineage, whereupon he discovers he is the descendant of a tribal princess whose people have fallen under the corrupt rule of spiritualists.

Big Fella:
Paul Robeson stars as Joe, a Marseilles dockworker who is asked by police to help find a young boy missing from an ocean liner. When Joe finally discovers the child, he learns that the boy escaped of his own will, and takes him to stay with a local cafe singer. Joe and Miranda become surrogate parents to the boy, offering a welcome change from his wealthy--and somewhat repressed--white parents.
