An Average Citizen (Napoleon's World)

An Average Citizen is a 1973 crime film written and directed by Jack Kennedy. As his third and final directorial effort, the film is regarded as a part of the Kennedy Series. The film stars Sam Carter, Billy Dee Williams, Lee H. Oswald, Luke Douglas, and Jim Cramer, featuring an unusual cast of almost exclusively black actors. Set in Covenant in the early 1950's, it explores the landscape of the city at the height of the civil rights era and the efforts of the FBI to inflitrate one of the South's largest crime rings with a rare black agent, who becomes torn between his racial identity and his duty to the United States.

The film was critically acclaimed and dominated the awards circuit, and was viewed as the rehabilitating film in Kennedy's career, which had sagged significantly after his enormously successful Oahu in 1962.
