It should come as no surprise that one of today’s most engaging renaissance men, Ahmir Questlove Thompson, has made one of the decade’s best concert films. SUMMER OF SOUL is, simultaneously, a jump-out-of-your-seat exciting music film with performances by some of the biggest luminaries of late ‘60s African American music and an incredible document of the Harlem Cultural Festival, a should-have-been-world-famous event which was instead largely forgotten until this remarkable footage was unearthed in a basement fifty years later.


“Summer of Soul is both a tribute to the artists and, just as importantly, their audience — which is what makes it not just a great concert film but a great documentary, period.” – Rolling Stone
