Five years before Sweet Sweetback’s Badasssss Song became a box office sensation and a cinematic cause célèbre, writer-director Van Peebles impressed critics, audiences, and cinephiles with his feature debut, an edgy and energetic study of a African-American soldier in France. A recent 4K restoration of The Story of a Three Day Pass will be screened.
