Melvin Van Peebles made a bold debut with "The Story of a Three Day Pass", a film that won top prize at the San Francisco Film Festival in 1968. The film was controversial, but Melvin didn't let that stop him. He went on to make "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song", a groundbreaking film that told the story of a black ghetto hero. Despite being rejected by major studios, Melvin self-financed the film and delivered it to the world.
