Soul Power

"Soul Power" is a documentary about a landmark concert that took place in Zaire in 1974. It took place before the Ali-Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle" (the movie is made of unused footage from "When We Where Kings" and is directed by an editor on that film) The doc features musical greats like James Brown, Bill Withers, BB King, and more as well as some interviews with Muhammad Ali. I saw it at Silver Docs recently and really enjoyed it. Check out the trailer below:



I look forward to the DVD release as I will definitely be buying it for what should be a lot of bonus scenes. I really hope they include some full length performances. The film should be out tomorrow @ E St. Cinema or Bethesda Row. Check your local listings and get on the good foot.
