Description
Short typed document describing the Mechrabpom Film Group whose intent was to produce a film shot in the U.S.S.R. portraying the Soviet Union in a positive way to be used in an effort to pursuade the United States to officially recognize the U.S.S.R. diplomatically and otherwise. Parallels were seen between the relationship of African Americans to the white power structure in the U.S. and a) the Czar and his subjects, b) the Jew in Russia, and c) the female in Russian Turkistan. A group of 20 African Americans travelled to Europe via the ship, Europa, in the 2nd week of June 1932. The film never materialized.
