The production of the film “Black And White” gets underway IN Moscow with a less than stellar first rehearsal that is only saved by the star of the Harlem Renaissance performers, Sylvia Garner. Langston Hughes reveals his doubts on the script. Dorothy West receives devastating news from home and then struggles to understand the comfort she finds in Mildred Jones. As the group becomes more comfortable in Moscow, they are surprised with a trip to Odessa, only to learn that the film is in even bigger trouble than they thought.
