The River Niger, a film about a series of crises in an American black family, has good intentions and several very well-acted scenes. But its direction is a mess.

The play was award-winning, but as a film, The River Niger is a washout.

Product Description:
An intimate look at life in the ghetto: Johnny Williams is a house painter who moonlights as a poet, struggling to financially and emotionally support his cancer-ridden wife Mattie. But times are tough and the poverty-troubled streets are even tougher, and it takes every ounce of Johnny's love and courage for the couple to make it through their strife, finding redemption in the River Niger. -- Description provided by TMDb
