Runaway Slave is an American independent political documentary hosted by Baptist minister C.L. Bryant, who hosts a nightly talk show over KEEL radio in his native Shreveport, Louisiana. The film premiered in Los Angeles on January 13, 2012. The film expresses Rev. Bryant's belief that the African-American community, "has traded one form of tyranny for another" by "buying into the entitlement mindset of Progressives."[1]

The film, directed by Pritchett Cotten, is backed by the FreedomWorks Foundation.

Premise

[edit]

The film follows Rev. C.L. Bryant as he travels across the United States and speaks with members of the African-American community, various conservative leaders, and different public faces about the belief that the African-American community is immersed in a welfare state and prevented from being successful on their own.[1] Andrew Breitbart, Glenn Beck, Herman Cain and Rep. Allen West are among the notable figures featured in the film who offer their insight and opinion into the topic.
