About the Film
Countdown at Kusini (also known as “Cool Red”) is a 1976 American-Nigerian action/drama film written by Howard Friedlander and Ed Spielman, and directed by Ossie Davis. The film was conceived and entirely financed by Delta Sigma Theta, which owned DST Telecommunications, which produced material to counter the "inaccurate portrayal of black people in media." Filming took place in August 1974 in Lagos, Nigeria with both U.S. and Nigerian crews.
