## Description

In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson presents a powerful and transporting documentary â part music film, part historical record â created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion. Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just one hundred miles south of Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park (now Marcus Garvey Park). The footage was largely forgotten â 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 concert performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys Knight and the Pips, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, The 5th Dimension and more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Eye-opening and great at tell the whole story
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2024*

This is not a music video. Though the music is featured throughout the presentation, it's the stories of those who attended and performed that is the true delight. This was a major event that was ignored by the news media and historians who tell you what you should want to know. This was held over several weekends and never had a major violence event. Maybe that's why you were never told about it. Hearing about the experiences of the attendees and performers brings me back to another, dare I say better, time. When you see how many video cameras were capturing it you'll wonder why this was never celebrated before. Thank you Questlove for digging this out of obscurity and sharing it with us.

    Moving, Living, Vibrating History
  

*by D***P on Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2024*

This is an essential document of a cultural festival that took place in Central Park over the course of several weekends in 1969. My only complaint is that more footage has not been edited and released. Meanwhile, if you have any interest at all in 1960s popular music, this is a must-see

    SUPER-SOULFUL!
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on April 9, 2024*

This isn't a mere concert video. It's a historical documentation of an actual, singular turning point in Black History. A 1969 snapshot. Among other things, it captures the transition from Gospel culture to Soul. It captures how we went from considering ourselves Negroes to using the word black.  I'm old enough to remember and tho I grew up on the West Coast, this moment in Harlem resonated nationwide, shaping our emerging culture, accomplishments and progress that were coming in the 70s. One further note: I'm rather skeptical of this generation when it comes to documenting history. In this case, Questlove hits a home run! Knocks the ball over the fence, over the bleachers, soaring over the stadium -- flying past the sky and into the heavens! SUPER SOUL!
