520    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. 
521 8  MPAA rating: R; for pervasive language and some strong 
       sexuality/nudity. 
538    DVD, region 1, widescreen presentation; Dolby Digital.
