Kim Novak will forever be remembered for her dual role in Hitchcocks \Vertigo\, in which she plays a woman forced to transform into someone else to fulfill a mans obsession. Novak was a rebel inside a star system that broke womens spirits in order to manufacture screen goddesses, a toxic system she never ceased to speak out against. In the 1950s at the age of 20, Novak finds herself thrown into the limelight. With no acting experience, the young woman who dreamed of becoming a painter undergoes a makeover which will transform her into a glamorous bombshell. Her anxiety on set is compounded by an intimidating studio head, demanding directors, and a misogynist press. This first documentary about Kim Novak, her career and her emancipation from the Hollywood system, tells the story of how this box office sensation who worked with some of the greatest directors of the era takes on the Hollywood studio system and reclaims her life - with the exclusive participation of the actress herself.

In 1971, Melvin Van Peebles, an independent filmmaker far ahead of his time, released a mind-blowing piece of avant-garde cinema - Sweet Sweetbacks Baadasssss Song. It broke all the rules, inventing its own grammar and proclaiming its emancipation from cinematic conventions. It turned the Hollywood studio system on its head, creatively sidestepping prevailing constraints and scrounging up alternative financing. Most importantly, Van Peebles splashed Black Power across the big screen in a way people had never seen before, depicting a heroic character who both defies \the man\ and illustrates the oppression of Blacks, from slavery to the Watts riots.
