DESCRIPTION:Screening of Director's Cut with David C. Johnson in person \n
 \n	Part of Changing the Picture\, sponsored by Time Warner Inc. \n\n\n	Dir
 . David C. Johnson. 1994\, 114 mins. Digital projection. With Eriq LaSalle
 \, Vondie Curtis Hall\, Ving Rhames. DROP Squad began its life as a short 
 film\, The Session\, based on a story by David Taylor about a group of bla
 ck militants who kidnap black people deemed to be detrimental to the commu
 nity. A throwback to the militancy represented by films such as Foxy Brown
 \, The Session’s satirical approach to the question of self-identity won t
 he Newark Black Film Festival and\, through support from organizations suc
 h as The Black Filmmaker Foundation and The Negro Ensemble Company\, caugh
 t the eye of Spike Lee who agreed to produce DROP Squad as the first of a 
 five picture deal with Gramercy Pictures/Universal. The film\, as timely a
 s it was when it was released nearly 25 years ago\, is a satirical look at
  what it means to be black and who gets to create that definition. It is a
 n extreme take on political correctness which still echoes today. “Whose t
 ruth do you believe?' It was released in a trimmed-down 86-minute version\
 ; this will be a rare screening of the 114-minute director's cut. \n\n\n	T
