Throughout a 30-year-career spanning more than 50 film roles, two-time Oscar winner Denzel Washington placed the figure of the Black man in all its complexity at the heart of American paradoxes in drama: from a Black activist and rebel soldier to a gangster torn between violence and charity. DENZEL WASHINGTON: AMERICAN PARADOX is a comprehensive review of Washington's remarkable career and indelible impact on the film industry. Featured clips include his Oscar-winning roles in Glory and Training Day along with scenes from Fences, St. Elsewhere, Malcolm X, Crimson Tide, Much Ado About Nothing, The Pelican Brief, Philadelphia, The Book of Eli and Antwone Fisher (which he also directed).
