The Apollo plot

"The soul of the American culture"

The Apollo Theater on 125th Street in New York's Harlem is more than a stage: it's a home and nursery for an endless array of African-American greats such as James 'Mister Apollo' Brown, Ella Fitzgerald, Ray Charles, Prince and Richard Pryor. A safe haven where Billie Holiday dared to sing 'Strange Fruit' and a place where African American culture is celebrated. Visitors to the theater have their say in this documentary.
