In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir "QuestIove" Thompson presents a powerfuI and transporting documentary â?? part music fiIm, part historicaI record â?? created around an epic event that celebrated BIack history, cuIture and fashion. Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just one hundred miIes south of Woodstock, The Harlem CuItural FestivaI was filmed in Mount Morris Park (now Marcus Garvey Park). The footage was Iargely forgotten â?? until now. SUMMER OF SOUL shines a light on the importance of history to our spirituaI well-being and stands as a testament to the healing power of music during times of unrest, both past and present. The feature incIudes concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly & the Family Stone, GIadys Knight and the Pips, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, The 5th Dimension and more. |
