Have you watched 'Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song' and need to talk about it? We feel you.
That's why Aaron is once again joined by Dr. Amy Abugo Ongiri, film historian, Director of Ethnic Studies at the University of Portland, and author of the book: “Spectacular Blackness: The Cultural Politics of the Black Power Movement and the Search for a Black Aesthetic". Join us as we talk about Sweetback, how it related to the Black Power and Black Art Movements, and it's legacy on both Blaxploitation and black representation to this day!
