On the Bowery
On the Bowery is a 1956 American docufiction film directed by Lionel Rogosin.
The film, Rogosin's first feature was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.
After the Second World War, Lionel Rogosin made a vow to fight fascism and racism wherever he found it.
In 1954, he left the family business, the Beaunit Mills- American Rayon Corporation, in order to make films in accordance with his ideals.
As he needed experience, he looked around for a subject and was struck by the plight of the men on the Bowery, and he determined that a portrayal of their daily lives on the streets and in the bars of the New York City neighborhood would make a strong film.
Thus," On the Bowery" served as Rogosin's practice film for the subsequent filming of his anti-apartheid film" Come Back, Africa"( 1960).
In 2008," On the Bowery" was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being" culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant".

Come Back, Africa
Come Back, Africa (1959)
is the second feature-length film written, produced, and directed by American independent filmmaker Lionel Rogosin.
The film had a profound effect on African cinema, and remains of great historical and cultural importance as a document preserving the heritage of the townships in South Africa in the 1950s.
It may be classified as reportage, documentary, historical movie or political cinema, since it portrays real events and people.
On the other hand, it reveals an interpretation of meaningful social facts and a strong ethical assumption towards human behaviours like racism.
Like Rogosin's feature debut "On the BoweryCome Back, Africa" is a scripted film based on fictional narrative, in which actors play invented roles.
However, unlike mainstream films and against Hollywood traditions, its actors are street people, improvising lived experiences: they play their own lives or those of people like them.
That is why "Come Back, Africa" is a fiction / non-fiction, a hybrid of fictional film and documentary: a docufiction.
Additionally, it is a rare combination in film history of docufiction and political film.
Both Lionel Rogosin in America and Jean Rouch in France, at the same time, considered themselves as Robert Flaherty's heirs for similar reasons.
Both used amateur actors, "street people" playing their own roles in search of truth or to unveil some hidden mystery beyond crude reality: Rogosin, contrary to Flaherty, sustained by strong ideological beliefs, Rouch, beyond Flaherty, inspired by surrealism, which he believed to be a useful means to reveal the '’truth of cinema'’
(the cinéma-vérité) and also an important tool to be used by an ethnographer for scientific research.
Following different paths to reach similar results, both converged in ethnofiction with surprising results (See: Glossary).
