Pam Grier, the diva of nineteen seventies Black action cinema, was known for her style, sass and roles challenging gender, race and class hierarchies.
We are celebrating the 25th anniversary re-release of Jackie Brown alongside Blaxploitation cult classics Coffy and Foxy Brown.
Unable to pay back the $20,000 he owes the mob, a small-time hustler gives up the identity of an undercover government agent – one who happens to be dating his sister, the dazzling Foxy Brown (Pam Grier).
But when he’s gunned down, Foxy is quick to make the connection and swears vengeance: using her body as a deadly weapon, she sets out to track down the hit men, their Mafia bosses, and her own brother.
