one available for a black student. The only problem is that Mark's not black...yet.

Advantages: A lovely comedy, romance with a serious message Disadvantages: A victim of narrow minded idiots
airplay around the world. They also tell the story of the 5 year battle to get the movie released on DVD; and the amount of retailers that even now refuse to stock it.
SoulMan is available from Play.com priced £11.99 and if you enjoyed those comedy movies of the mid 1980's I'm sure you'll love this.
So here is the update:-
