In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir \u201cQuestlove\u201d Thompson presents a powerful and transporting documentary\u2014part music film, part historical record 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).\u00a0The footage was never seen and largely forgotten\u2013until now. Thompson expressed surprise that the footage sat for so long, as music had a large impact on his life and development, stating “What would have happened if this was allowed a seat at the table? How much of a difference would that have made in my life? That was the moment that extinguished any doubt I had that I could do this.” WATCH TRAILER BELOW!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
