Buffalo Soldiers

Danny Glover takes the lead in this powerful fact-based Western, which chronicles the escapades of an all-black cavalry unit serving under racist white command, exploring the part they played in securing the West in the aftermath of the American Civil War, and revealing how arrests made by the soldiers were deliberately undermined by their superior officers and the consequences of the simmering racial tensions. Not as good as the similarly themed Glory, but interesting, and worth watching, nevertheless. Timothy Busfield, Bob Gunton, Mykelti Williamson, Glynn Turman and Carl Lumbly also star
