Marcus Garland
Marcus Garland is a 1925 race film directed, written, produced and distributed by Oscar Micheaux. The film offers a harsh parody on the rise and fall of Marcus Garvey, the Black nationalist and pan-Africanist leader.[1] Few details on the film’s production survive, and some sources place its release in 1928.[2]
No print of the film is known to exist and it is presumed to be a lost film.[3]
