Watching his father make the movie and actually being a part of it in a porn scene at age 13, Mario Van Peebles uses his new film "Baadasssss!" to take a look back at the making of his father’s controversial "Sweet Sweetback’s Baadasssss Song."

"Baadasssss!" is clever, funny and certainly original. It’s part documentary – using actual footage of his dad’s film – but in a feature sort of way; and yet it’s also a son’s look down the family tree at where he came from and where he was going. Mario, who takes on the role of his dad, details the filming of a movie his father was destined to make. He highlights the courageous, unrelenting but almost impossible struggle his dad had to endure to complete the movie.
