content: Four (4) page press kit for the film, "Right On!" starring the New York based spoken word group The Last Poets and directed by Herbert Danska. The kit consists of a black and white four-sided brochure with advertisements for the film in various sizes and designs, most with quotes from reviews of the film. The same three images are used throughout: The three members of The Last Poets standing together, from left to right David Nelson, Felipe Luciano, and Gylan Kain. Luciano wears a beret and a light colored shirt and Kain stands with one leg crossed behind the other. This image is pictured largest on the front of the press kit, with the three standing above a city scape. Another image depicts a seated man in profile, wearing a beret and holding a gun out in his proper right hand. He is pictured sitting on a cityscape or on top of the title [RIGHT ON!] throughout the press kit. The other repeated image is a close-up of David Nelson's face, his mouth open in mid-performance.
