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.
Unfortunately the movie Sweet Black Film: The Birth of the Black Hero in Hollywood is not yet available on HBO Max.
