The journal brings you into the confidence of an artist who achieved one of the great triumphs in the history of filmmaking. Van Peebles stuck to his vision, later reaping the financial and critical rewards, and the reader gets to see what stick really looks like. Includes the script of the classic. 
 
"I made the picture because I was tired of taking the Man's crap and of having him define who we were to us. Sick and tired of watching the parade of jigaboos, valets and tap-dancing cooks on the big screen, I felt we had the right to define who we were to ourselves. I am most proud of the fact that I decided to do something about it."
