Brown Paper Bag
The year is 1942, and Archie Glass wants to become a movie star. His opportunity presents itself when he is offered a job: locate a young white movie star before the press knows she is gone, and he will have a chance at his Hollywood dream. Thus begins a voyage into a Los Angeles you've never seen before, as the actors who play maids, busboys, and background players in jungle films all come to the fore in this dramatic noir about a guy determined to do anything to make his dream a reality. Archie hunts Hollywood's back alleys and uncovers far more lies than truth. He eventually discovers both the woman he seeks and the grim truth of being a black guy in tinsel town.
