Mandingo is a 1975 historical drama that explores the brutal realities of slavery on a Southern plantation through the interconnected lives of the Maxwell family and their enslaved workers. Released in June 1975, the film confronts difficult subject matter including exploitation and systemic dehumanization during the antebellum era.
