The remarkable life and career of filmmaker Melvin Van Peebles is laid bare in this warts and all insight into a man whose life path has veered from the military, to Broadway, to Wall Street and of course to Hollywood where he made his name with one of the most contorversial cult films of all time, 'Sweet Sweet Baadasssss Song'. Full of humour and fond anecdotes from Melvin himself, along with his children Mario and Megan, Spike Lee, Gordon Parks, Gil Scott-Heron and many others, this is an engaging and inspiring story of a man who refused to accept boundaries, whether they be racial, social or otherwise.
