Black Mama, White Mama


Chicks in chains... Nothing behind but prison bars.  Nothing ahead but trouble.

 

"Outrageously funny!" - Los Angeles Times

 

"Colorful, outrageous and truly exciting." - The Hollywood Reporter


"At her tough talkingly sassiest, Grier throws her weight around and she looks great doing it." - Ian Jane, RockShockPop.com

 

"A genre all by herself" (Voice), Pam Grier tackles - and shackles - her sleekest role yet as the feistier half of a pair of women in chains and on the run in this action flick.

 

Grier is Lee Daniels, a prostitute doing hard time in an island prison camp for women where the guards have a new way to punish inmates who fight: by cuffing 'em together!  Chained to her bitter rival, white revolutionary Karen (Margaret Markov), Lee finds herself literally linked to the revolutionary cause - and on the fly - when Karen's guerrilla friends stage a coup!  But this foxy inmate's got a cause of her won in the form of a secret stash of cold, hard cash and a getaway boat!  Brawling with her white counterpart over which way to go, and tracked like a dog by guards, guerrillas and a gangster after the loot, she's gotta make her escape - before both mamas' enemies bring them down for good!

 

Co-written by the recently departed Jonathan Demme
