Curiozități

White Man's Burden is a 1995 American drama film about racism, written and directed by Desmond Nakano and starring John Travolta and Harry Belafonte. Set in an alternate American society where the socioeconomic positions of white people and black people are reversed, the film follows a disadvantaged white factory worker whose life is ruined after racial discrimination influences his termination, leading to him kidnapping his black former employer. The title is a well-known phrase inspired by the famous poem of the same title by Rudyard Kipling. The film was released in the U.S. on December 1, 1995 to weak box-office performance and negative reviews from critics.

Production

Producer Lawrence Bender said mainstream Hollywood financiers were hesitant to support the film due to its heavy thematic emphasis on race relations and instead relied on French financing to secure the film's $7 million budget. Bender said his desire to make the film came from then recent prominent news stories involving Colin Powell, Louis Farrakhan, O. J. Simpson, and South Africa.
