This is a documentary about the years where the music scene was gearing up to get political as fuck. It is astounding, and beautifully crafted with a wonderfully sharp jazz music score: think Abbey Lincoln, Gillespie, Miriam Makeba, Max Roach, Nina Simone, Ornette Coleman, OK Jazz, The Arkestra... The problem with a lot of documentaries is they can be flat or stereotypical, and therefore are not actually offering an alternative. This one is something else—it flies and stirs the imagination.

This is an 'essay film', a special style that was born with French filmmaker Chris Marker in the 60s, and was jazzed up by Adam Curtis in England in the 90s, A whirlwind of thoughts and information, executed with intelligence and exhilaration.
