Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised)

Quote:

During the same summer as Woodstock, over 300,000 people attended the Harlem Cultural Festival, celebrating African American music and culture, and promoting Black pride and unity. The footage from the festival sat in a basement, unseen for over 50 years, keeping this incredible event in America’s history lost—until now.

Does anyone know if this will get a physical release? And if the concerts will be released in full, or at least in larger extracts?

This needs a physical release, for sure

Harlem, 1969, and the vibrant community around 125th Street is rife with creative innovation. Troubled genius Donny Hathaway, bandleader King Curtis, and Miles Davis and his visionary wife Betty Mabry are reinventing black music. Jimi Hendrix is staging a benefit concert in support of the Biafran famine victims, and helping him behind the scenes is flamboyant indie label owner and heroin kingpin, Fat Jack Taylor. The Apollo Theater is bringing the best of soul music to the crowded streets, and at the height of a blistering summer Harlem plays host to Black Woodstock, a series of free concerts starring Sly and the Family Stone, Stevie Wonder and Nina Simone.

Meanwhile, a city-wide raid has led to the arrest of twenty-one members of the Black Panther Party - and ultimately to one of the most controversial trials of the era - and a heroin epidemic is spiralling out of control. Young people are dying on the streets of Harlem faster than the body count in Vietnam.

Harlem 69 has all the trademarks of its predecessors - deep research, compelling storytelling and a keen awareness of social change - and maps out how Harlem became the genesis of future musical forms including jazz-funk, psychedelic soul, disco, boogie, rap and hip-hop amidst intense social change.

Stuart Cosgrove's critically acclaimed trilogy began with Detroit 67 and was followed by Memphis 68, which won the Penderyn Prize for Music Book of the Year in 2018. Harlem 69 brings his epic story of sixties soul to its triumphant conclusion.

Thank you; same to you and yours.

I am in the Netherlands, so that may explain it.

I just checked again and it is there.

Can you try this direct link?

For those in the US that have Disney+ but not Hulu, I see this was just added. Not sure if was planned, or they just decided to do it after its Oscar nom.

CartoonStudios · 02-09-2022, 06:18 AM

I'm so happy that this film has gotten a physical release (and with bonus features no less)! Although it's strange that it's just on dvd, perhaps it might get a blu release in the event that it wins Best Documentary at the Oscars this year!

I blundered into finding this came out by hearing about the Oscar nomination yesterday. Picked it up at Target with a slip for $14.99. Bummed it isn't a blu-ray (the blu for Amazing Grace came out 3 months after the dvd release so maybe...)

They must have had a plan once the nominations were announced.
