Featuring a wealth of footage from classic films such as Superfly and Shaft, and interviews with such key players as Richard Roundtree, Quentin Tarentino and Pam Grier, this film explores blaxploitation films from their breakout casting and unforgettable soundtracks to the outrageous fashions and hilariously over-the-top story lines that together helped the genre achieve its revered cult status.
