    Part icon, part iconoclast, Melvin Van Peebles is a prolific and multi-talented artist with a life story as fascinating as his work. Never deterred by rejection, Van Peebles made his name with one of the most controversial films ever made, the self-produced Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song, which redefined independent cinema and single-handedly sparked the Blaxploitation era.
