Pootie Tang, the musician/actor/folk hero of the ghetto, is chronicled from his early childhood to his battles against the evil Corporate America, who try to steal his magic belt and make him sell out by endorsing addictive products to his people. Pootie must learn to find himself and defeat the evil corporation for all the young Black children of America, supatime.
A rhythmic folk hero fights to protect his community from a predatory corporation desperate to weaponize his cultural influence. This surreal satire trades logic for pure, unadulterated absurdity and infectious energy.
