Shawn Strong and Decarius McClearn discuss and review Melvin Van Peebles' third feature, "Sweet Sweetback's Baadassss Song," a 1971 American blaxploitation film written, co-produced, scored, edited, directed by and starring Melvin Van Peebles. His son Mario Van Peebles also appears in a small role, playing the title character as a young boy. The film tells the picaresque story of a poor Black man fleeing from the white police authorities.
Although we couldn't show many clips, we spoke about it. And how we felt about it.
