Souls of Sin is a 1949 American race film written and directed by Powell Lindsay, and produced by William D. Alexander.
Generally regarded as the last race film (all-black film of the pre-Civil Rights era) with either a Black director or producer, Souls of Sin has been described as a landmark film of the genre. The film was producer Alexander's final feature before his move to London, where he began making documentaries (he produced one further film, The Klansman, in the 1970s).
