City Of Hope (1991)

City of Hope is a sprawling ensemble drama set in a struggling American city. It weaves together the personal and political lives of its residents with a gritty, naturalistic edge. Angela Bassett appears in the cast, lending an early dose of screen presence to the film's rough-edged world. The archive carries just 1 scene from the movie. It's a brief but notable clip showing Bassett baring skin in an unguarded bit of exposure. It's a small find, but for those tracing her career back to its roots, it's worth the click.
