Summer of Soul Documentary Screening and Discussion

In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presents a powerful and transporting documentary – part music film, part historical record – centered on an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion: the Harlem Cultural Festival, founded in 1967. Summer of Soul stands as a testament to the healing power of music during the era of the Black Arts Movement and the Civil Rights Movement. The feature includes concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly and the Family Stone, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, The 5th Dimension and more.
