Autobiographical drama based on photographer Gordon Parks's 1963 novel. The Learning Tree covers less than a year in the life of a black teenager, and documents the veritable deluge of events which force him into sudden manhood. The family relationships and enmities, the fears, frustrations, and ambitions of the black teenager in small-town America are explored with a strong statement about human values. (USA, 1969, 107 min., M, English| Dir. Gordon Parks)
