Trailer:

Synopsis: Documents Melvin Van Peebles' struggles in the early 1970's to make 'Sweet Sweetback's Baad Asssss Song' under the guise of creating a black porno film. Melvin ducked creditors, the unions and had to bail out his camera crew after they were arrested because a white cop decided that a bunch of negroes and hippies couldn't have come by that camera equipment honestly.

Comment: Mario Van Peebles' critical but loving ode to his father's pioneering film career which led him to turn his back on both Hollywood and his family. aka "Gettin' The Man's Foot Outta Your Asssss!"
