Hogtown
A man disappears on the same day he makes his fortune in this re-imagining of a true story, which is still unsolved. In this version of the disappearance of Ambrose Small, the setting has been changed from Toronto, 1919, to Chicago of the same year. Gorgeous cinematography in mostly black and white underscores the racial tensions of the time, while intentional anachronisms and Calgary-raised director Daniel Nearing’s postmodern vision give the film an otherworldly quality. While the investigation of Small’s case is a central device, Nearing’s real objective is to expose the characters of the time and stoke the flames of mystery.

Yawn. Poorly Filmed Snooze Fest.
Don't listen to the negative reviews
Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
great acting performance by Herman Wilkins,this film is wonderful, cinematic, creative, 10 out of 10 stars,I watched this film as it was submission to the big house Los Angeles black film festival, out of over a thousand submissions to the festival Hogtown was hands down the best I had seen, the stylized cinematography, the lighting, editing and amazing performances were captivating.as a reviewer, one of many from the festival authority for Big House Los Angeles, we all agreed this is an amazing must see film,Mr Wilkins performance is superb. great film.
