A RAGE IN HARLEM Tribute to Miramax: Ten Years of Hits

Directed by African American Bill Duke, and starring an all black cast, A Rage in Harlem is a hard-hitting opportunity for fine performers. A deal about to go sour opens the film, as Slim (Badja Djola) and his trusted sidekicks meet with other underworld criminals to pass over a stolen trunk of gold ore. Miraculously, lmabelle (Robin Givens), Slim’s sexy girlfriend, escapes with the trunk. In Harlem, where lmabelle hopes to sell the gold to Slim’s contact, Easy Money (Danny Glover), she runs into earnest accountant, Jackson (Forest Whitaker), who becomes embroiled in her adventures.
