Watermelon Man (1970), directed by Melvin Van Peebles, is a satirical comedy about a white insurance salesman who wakes up one morning to discover he has turned Black. Mixing absurdist humor with sharp racial commentary, the film critiques American racism while paving the way for Van Peebles revolutionary Sweet Sweetbacks Baadasssss Song (1971).

A bigoted, white salesman (played by stand-up comedian Godfrey Cambridge) wakes up one morning to find he has become black. Although it has been somewhat overshadowed by Melvin Van Peebles next film, Sweet Sweetbacks Baadasssss Song, Watermelon Man has never felt more relevant than it does today.
