The powerful documentary (and now Academy Award Nominee), Summer of Soul, is now available to stream on Disney+, as well as its original streaming home, Hulu. Summer of Soul (…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised), created from long-forgotten footage never been seen before, covers the six-week Harlem Cultural Festival that took place the summer of 1969, the same summer as Woodstock. A celebration of Black history, culture, music, and fashion, The Harlem Cultural Festival featured legendary artists such as Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys Knight & the Pips, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, The 5th Dimension, and more, whose never-before-seen concert performances are highlighted in the film. In his debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presents a film that is part music documentary and part a historical record of the epic event.
