Percy Julian: Forgotten Genius is essentially a biography of the man told through narration, acting and interviews, switching presentation formats effectively maintain the audience’s interest.
His story is an interesting one, well-told and technically well-presented. The first hour comprises his youth culminating in Julian’s struggle for his doctorate. This leaves the second hour feeling overlong and anti-climactic--until it draws you in again.
The film is a good overview of Julian’s life and how he felt the impact of racism throughout it. The chemical explanations for what he achieved are interesting without being too long or too complex. A little more information on those around him might have been even more interesting, for instance his partner or his wife who also had a doctorate. But it’s definitely long enough as it is.
Percy Julian: Forgotten Genius will fit into most collections supporting African American studies or scientific history.
