Summary A candid portrait of Melvin Van Peeble's struggles as a young, black director during the society-shifting 70's. Determined to make a film that matters, Melvin deals with two-faced backers, a rag-tag crew, threatening creditors, and various shades of Hollywood hypocrisy. With everything on the line, his only choice is to stick to his guns and do whatever it takes to get his neo-blaxploitation epic to the audience for which it was envisioned.
Audience MPAA rating: R; for pervasive language and some strong sexuality/nudity.
System Details DVD, region 1, widescreen presentation; Dolby Digital.
Language Closed-captioned.
