Spent the evening last night at Riverside Studios witnessing original footage and recordings from Zaire 74. A three day festival held in conjunction with the boxing match known as ‘The Rumble In The Jungle’ and more importantly to address the relationship between African American and African people.
Soul Power is Jeff Levy-Hinte’s documentary of the festival. From the headliners to the local musicians to rehearsals to the classic bureaucracy of management this is a honest and raw portrayal of the event and its purpose.
I would highly recommend you take the time.
