The great Godfrey Cambridge stars as a bigoted, upper middle class white man who, one morning, wakes up to find that he’s become black. Inspired equally by Franz Kafka’s Metamorphosis and John Howard Griffin’s Black Like Me, WATERMELON MAN is one of the most caustically funny satires of the 1970s as it traces the inevitable radicalization of its lead character.
