A wildly absurdist, high-energy comedy that celebrates Black folk heroism and cultural pride through surreal humor, nonsensical dialogue, and cartoonish battles against corporate villainy.

Pootie must learn to find himself and defeat the evil corporation for all the young Black children of America, supatime.
