For Black History Month, our members pick'd a forgotten, brilliant flick: Chameleon Street, the debut feature of Wendell B. Harris, Jr. and Grand Jury Prize winner of the 1990 Sundance Film Festival. Chameleon Street tells the too-strange-not-to-be-true story of William Douglas Street, Jr., a brilliant, underprivileged, and troubled Michigan man who made headlines in the 1970s and 80s for successfully impersonating a doctor, a law student, a naval officer, a Time magazine reporter and many other highly credential individuals, largely out of frustration over the limited choices afforded to him in his “real” life. This dark, surreal comedy has been acclaimed as an “overlooked masterwork (The New Yorker), “a trenchant exploration of the Black experience in America” (Chicago Reader), and “one of the most provocative and adventurous American movies of the ’90s” (Time Out).”
