A photographic slide of a scene from the film Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song. It features an image of a shirtless man trying to escape a police officer. Inches away from the doorway, he leans forward, with his right hand almost touching the floor. A cluttered table can be seen in front of him on the other side of the doorway, while a police officer is visible just behind him.
