Nell'Africa occidentale degli anni Venti Mr. Johnson tiene la contabilità per Harry Rudbeck, un giovane ufficiale comandante del distretto. Mr. Johnson finisce nei guai per aver commesso piccole irregolarità ma riesce ad aiutare il suo capo a costruire la strada che collega il piccolo distretto al resto del paese. La sua indifferenza alle regole gli sarà fatale perché la burocrazia del paese non capisce la sua fantasiosa intraprendenza.

Mister Johnson (1991)
101 min
In 1923 British Colonial Nigeria, Mister Johnson is an oddity -- an educated black man who doesn't really fit in with the natives or the British. He works for the local British magistrate, and considers himself English, though he has never been to England. He is always scheming, trying to get ahead, which lands him in a lot of hot water.
