Mr. Dynamite: The Rise of James Brown plot

The fact that funk and soul god James Brown was labeled the hardest-working musician in the scene during his glory years in the 1960s and 1970s was partly due to a difficult childhood full of neglect and lack. He used that misery, along with his exceptional talent and perseverance, as fuel. This documentary shows in words, images and music how James Brown grew into a musician of stature, through archival interviews with the artist himself, recent interviews with his Famous Flames band members and prominent musicians and producers. How did Brown develop his music and image? Who was he behind the scenes? And how did the star manage to be accepted even in the white music scene of the 1960s, at that time extremely separated from the black?
