An odd but reminiscent standout in the modest subgenre of scientific discipline fable moving-picture show about race is the alternating account White Man ’s Burden , conduct by Desmond Nakano and hitting screens in 1995 with high - wattage sensation Harry Belafonte and John Travolta . fructify in a modern-day America where blacks are the decree course of instruction and Andrew D. White last in ghetto , the movie begins with two fascinating scenes : magnate Belafonte tells a in high spirits - society dinner party that whites are substandard , then we cut to our shape - class white protagonist Travolta driving through the white ghetto . placard that there ’s a quick shot of two blackened bull arresting a whitened hombre , and when we see Travolta ’s son groove - surfriding , nearly every face on TV is black . Also , I lie with that the ashen gangsters are listen to unsound metal . The movie slump without a trace , partially because Nakano neglected to engage meaningfully with the social world he ’s created , instead promptly plough the film into a standard hostage flick with angry , out - of - work Travolta snatch Belafonte and everybody yelling and sweating a peck .
