I just finished the book Invisible Man, and strongly believe that it should be made into a movie. This book so articulately highlights the complexity of lives that try to co-exist in racial America, and i think everyone should be given a chance to witness such journey.

Is this some kind of trailer for a longer TV programme about Ellison or is it the whole introduction? It would be worthwhile to watch either an adaptation of the Invisible Man or a programme about it because the book is a rather complicated piece of writing and to get as much as possible one needs some backup. Short that it was - it was very interesting though.
