Summer of Soul: New film revives lost 'Black Woodstock' gig series

The summer of 1969: Neil Armstrong walks on the Moon. Woodstock becomes the defining moment of the counterculture movement. And Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Mahalia Jackson and BB King play to a combined crowd of more than 300,000 people at The Harlem Cultural Festival.

Grrr.
Wanted to see this movie. Preoccupied with medical appointments I didn’t check our local movie theater schedule. Summer of Love had been playing - but yesterday was the last day. :-(  This is a film that would be fun to see with a group of people who would get into the music, singing, clapping along …
It is available for viewing on a pay service in the US - Hulu. Supposedly there is a free trial available but don’t like having to put credit card info in. I’m not good at going back and canceling before the trial period ends

Yes, I can understand that. I'm a little hesitant in cases like that as well. I hope for a BlueRay/DVD release, as I haven't seen anything yet about the movie being shown here in Germany.

Questlove on directing ‘Summer of Soul,’ which is now Oscar-nominated for Best Documentary, and how the concert featured has been dubbed the ‘Black Woodstock,’ hidden from history until this groundbreaking film. ‘Summer of Soul’ is streaming on Hulu and airs for free on Sunday, Feb. 13 on ABC.
