Sweet Black Film: The Birth of the Black Hero in Hollywood (2022)
In 1971, director Melvin Van Peebles turned the figure of the black hero in US cinema upside down with Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song: the story of the making of a seminal movie that initiated the Blaxploitation movement, a short-lived but highly influential sub-genre in the years that followed.
Directors: Catherine Bernstein, Martine Delumeau.
