Rated: PG-13  118 minutes; in English; Directed by: Questlove
In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson presents a powerful documentary created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion. In the summer of 1969, just one hundred miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park. The footage was never seen and largely forgotten--until now. Summer of Soul shines a light on the importance of history to our spiritual well-being and stands as a testament to the healing power of music during times of unrest, both past and present. The feature includes never-before-seen concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, and many more.
