Summer of Soul (2021)

Coming Out at July 2, 2021 on Hulu and in theaters

“…Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised”

Documentary, Music

In 1969, during the same summer as Woodstock, a different music festival took place 100 miles away. More than 300,000 people attended the summer concert series known as the Harlem Cultural Festival. It was filmed, but after that summer, the footage sat in a basement for 50 years. It has never been seen. Until now.

In his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presents a powerful and transporting documentary—part music film, part historical record created around an epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion. In Theaters and on Hulu July 2, 2021.
