Scared of Revolution

About This Movie

Scared of Revolution captures the essence of Umar Bin Hassan, still carrying the weight of his past as a key figure in The Last Poets. The film has this raw, stripped-back atmosphere, you know? It’s like peeling back layers of time to reveal the struggles and triumphs that shaped not just a man, but a movement. The pacing is contemplative, allowing the audience to absorb his reflections, even as he grapples with age and legacy. You feel the grit of the 60s and 70s in his words. There's something haunting in his tired gaze that speaks volumes about the fight for social justice. It’s less about spectacle and more about the power of spoken word, a reminder of how art can ignite revolution.
