When You’re Right—You Fight!
TRAILER
Riverbend Restored.
-
In 1989, a small independent film was made in Texas that challenged the status quo by showing African-Americans standing up to their oppressors.
Conceived as a call for unity, it enjoyed a brief theatrical run and home video release before all but disappearing… until now.
Virtually unseen for nearly 35 years, this action-packed drama proves more relevant than ever. A brand new 6K restoration (sourced from the 35mm interpositive) is being supervised by director Sam Firstenberg (American Ninja), producer Valerie Vance, and Executive Produced by Reelblack for an early 2026 release in theaters and on Blu-ray.
