Claim: Soul Soldier is a 1970 blaxploitation (an ethnic subgenre of the exploitation film that emerged in the United States during the early 1970s) Western film that was initially produced by Hirschman-Northern Productions and was reshot by John Cardos, which was entirely shot on an Arriflex 35 IIC.
Evidence: Soul Soldier (produced under the working title Men of the Tenth; originally released as The Red, White, and Black; released on home video in the United States as Buffalo Soldier; released on home video in Australia as Black Cavalry; also called Soul Soldiers) is a 1970 blaxploitation Western film. The film was initially produced by Hirschman-Northern Productions under the working title Men of the Tenth. Cardos directed the reshoot, which was entirely shot on an Arriflex 35 IIC. After it was filmed on 16 mm film and released under the title The Red, White, and Black, producer Stuart Hirschman asked John Cardos to salvage the film, and Cardos, after looking at the existing footage, insisted that the entire film needed to be reshot in 35mm film. Blaxploitation or blacksploitation is an ethnic subgenre of the exploitation film that emerged in the United States during the early 1970s.
