"It was the first "black power" film, and even became required viewing for members of the Black Panther Party. It would also pioneer the movement that would later be referred to as blaxploitation, and become one of the highest grossing films of 1971." -Viddy-Well.com
"There are important movies, but there are only a few that one can say actually changed the game. One of those few films is Melvin Van Peebles’ 1971 underground indie classic “Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song”. -indiewire.com
"Even 30-odd years on, the picture still has more than a whiff of rebellion about it." -Film4
BRAND-NEW 4K RESTORATION! Included in MoMA’s permanent collection and considered to be among the most significant features ever by an African-American filmmaker, SWEET SWEETBACK is a brutal and shocking story of survival and is credited as one of the first blaxploitation films.
