- Melvin Van Peebles
Melvin Van Peebles is never short on opinions. I'd find it a lot easier to accept them if he weren't responsible for the vastly overrated Sweet Sweetback's Baadassss Song (forgive me if I omitted any 'a's or 's's from the title) and cinematic atrocities such as the racist, sexist, and plain awful Identity Crisis. Nonetheless, this is a fascinating and frequently dead on documentary about Hollywood's treatment of African American filmmakers.

This doc had such a big impact on how i view media. Its cool that you're sharing it and hopefully it does the same for someone else. Its unfortunate that Melvin doesn't get his proper respect.
