Jamaa Fanaka's raw and violent indictment of prison life is a masterpiece of Urban Cinema and was the most successful independent film of 1980 with a box office of over $13,000,000. The film, a potent combination of Blaxploitation prison movie and social commentary, busted genres and galvanized audiences from the art houses to the inner city, becoming the cornerstone of urban independent film for generations to come.
