Ganja & Hess: The Complete Edition

1972: Indie production company Kelly-Jordan Enterprises sets out to capitalize on the existing market for gothic horror films and the growing popularity of Blaxploitation. They hire Bill Gunn...playwright, actor, multiple-threat artist...to direct their black vampire movie. He in turn makes an art-house thriller about addiction, culture clashes and moral redemption.

Hailed as one of the great artistic achievements of modern American cinema, it was the only American film screened during Critics' Week at the 1973 Cannes Film Festival, where it won a standing ovation. It was literally ahead of its time - so audacious and unique it was all but buried. We are proud to present this exclusive DVD restoration of Bill Gunn's director's cut, including 3 minutes of footage missing from previous home video versions.
