Saltzman Sees...Boyz N The Hood (1991)

Boyz N The Hood  is John Singleton's portrayal of social problems in inner-city Los Angeles takes the form of a tale of three friends growing up together 'in the 'hood.' Half-brothers Doughboy and Ricky Baker are foils for each other's personality, presenting very different approaches to the tough lives they face. Ricky is the 'All-American' athlete, looking to win a football scholarship to USC and seeks salvation through sports, while 'Dough' succumbs to the violence, alcohol, and crime surrounding him in his environment, but maintains a strong sense of pride and code of honor. Between these two is their friend Tre, who is lucky to have a father, 'Furious' Styles, to teach him to have the strength of character to do what is right and to always take responsibility for his actions.

Singleton was my Best Director of 1991.


Saltzman Sees...The Tuskegee Airmen (1995)

The Tuskegee Airmen is the true story of how a group of African American pilots overcame racist opposition to become one of the finest US fighter groups in World War II.  A special project is begun by the US Army Air Corps to integrate African American pilots into the Fighter Pilot Program. Known as the "Tuskegee Airman" for the name of the airbase at which they were trained, these men were forced to constantly endure harassement, prejudice, and much behind the scenes politics until at last they were able to prove themselves in combat.

Laurence Fishburne, Allen Payne and Cuba Gooding Jr. star in this movie about racism, perseverance, and courage.
