Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) plot

Over the course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just 100 miles south of Woodstock, the Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in what was then called Mount Morris Park. The recordings have never been seen and largely forgotten. Up to now. This documentary sheds light on the importance of history for spiritual well-being and shows the healing power of music in times of turmoil, both past and present.
