SWEET SWEETBACK’S BAADASSSS SONG [Official Theatrical Trailer - AGFA]

Brand new 4K restoration from Vinegar Syndrome and Xenon Pictures! Included in MoMA’s permanent collection and considered to be among the most significant features ever by an African-American filmmaker, SWEET SWEETBACK’S BAADASSSS SONG is an unforgettable study of perseverance in the face of racism. Director/writer/producer/editor/composer Melvin Van Peebles stars as a black orphan raised in a brothel and groomed to be a sex show performer. Set up by his boss and two corrupt cops for a murder he didn’t commit, Sweetback escapes custody and is thrust into an increasingly hallucinogenic world of violence and bigotry where no one can be trusted, and the possibility of death lurks at every corner.
