In dual performances, Michelle A. Banks and John Earl Jelks play an educated dressmaker and an illiterate migrant in 1910s Chicago, and a resilient graphic artist and an endearing librarian living in the same city eight decades later. Employing archival photography, an original score blending ragtime and African percussion, and lyrical editing, Davis deftly intertwines the two couple’s stories, in ways both tender and tragic. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eCompensation\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is a landmark of American independent cinema that confronts the social forces and prejudices that hinder love.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"header_lvl2 hideSmall\" data-feature-title-field=\"\"\u003eDIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURES\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-features-list\" data-special-features-field=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNew 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by director Zeinabu irene Davis, in collaboration with the UCLA Film \u0026amp; Television Archive and Wimmin with a Mission Productions, and in conjunction with the Sundance Institute, with uncompressed stereo soundtrack\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudio commentary featuring Davis, screenwriter Marc Arthur Chéry, and director of photography Pierre H.
