How to Eat Your Watermelon in White Company (and Enjoy It)

Feature-length documentary on renegade filmmaker, novelist, musician and theater impresario, Melvin Van Peebles.

À la fois icône et iconoclaste, Melvin Van Peebles est un réalisateur aussi fascinant que ses films. Ce documentaire raconte l’itinéraire d’un jeune Noir de Chicago qui a tourné un film très controversé : Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song, à l’origine de la Blacksploitation. On découvre Van Peebles sous diverses facettes : pilote de l’armée, romancier français, rappeur, trader à Wall Street.
