Sweetback’s firm stand on racism in the movie industry and the wider US socio-political context is still pertinent today as the racist ideology is disturbingly still with us today. Hence, the importance of revisiting Sweetback to unpack its multifaceted stance and elucidate how it engages, spoofs and departs from the conventional, “whitestream” movie making practices for the sake of hammering its message home.
