    Old African Anerican Film
    This movie is an old African American movie where the wife is a victim of domestic violence. The husband is a old cranky man who hates his life. They have two teenage kids. One day the husband goes to far and beats the wife to death. I remember seeing the movie as a child. It came out in the 80's from what I remember. I know that's not much of a description but that's all I can remember. The mother reminds me Of Esther Rolle but when I googled her body of work, I didn't see it there. So I assumed its not her. Thanks for reading and I hope I can find some help on this site!
