Angio's film is an excellent introduction, but it won't be long before you realize that his subject is too complex to be contained in a single admiring tribute.

[Van Peebles] could surely survive a more critical and complete look at his extraordinary life and times.

Product Description:
From French-language novelist, to a rap-styled recording artist, to director of the controversial classic SWEET SWEETBACK'S BAADASSSSS SONG, Melvin Van Peebles has done it all. Speaking with associates and admirers alike--including Spike Lee, Gil Scott Heron, and son Mario Van Peebles--this lively documentary chronicles Peebles's unique journey through life, and indelible place in film history.
