In his debut as a filmmaker, musician Ahmir ‘Questlove’ Thompson presents a powerful documentary that’s part music film, part historical record created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion – and was widely ignored by the mainstream media of the time.

Featuring legendary performers like Stevie WonderNina Simone, and Sly & the Family Stone, alongside news clips and interviews with attendees, the film celebrates Black joy, identity, and progress and stands as a testament to the power of music in times of unrest. 

 

Striking and rich with power.
