DESCRIPTION:Revolution Books is very excited to host this online screening of\nSummer 
 of Soul (…Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised)\n \nIn 1969, 
 the Harlem Cultural Festival drew 300,000 people over 6 weekends, yet the 
 footage sat in storage for 50 years and few people have ever heard of it, 
 until now. You will get a front-row seat and watch incredible 
 performances.\n \nThe film not only shows a series of amazing musical 
 performances, from blues to jazz to gospel and more, but sets it all in a 
 political context, a time when revolution was in the air, the mass 
 resistance to the war in Vietnam, the unprecedented urban rebellions, and 
 the Black Liberation movement, with footage of the Young Lords and the 
 Black Panther Party, and more.\n \nNow is your chance to watch it.\n \nTo 
 watch the film, you need to register with Eventbrite 
 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/screening-of-summer-of-soul-tickets-160873058649\n 
 \nYou will receive a unique code before the screening. It will be good for 
 72 hours starting at 7pm on June 30th. (The film is about 2 hours.)\n

 \nAbout The Film \n \nIn his acclaimed debut as a filmmaker, Ahmir 
 “Questlove” Thompson presents a powerful and transporting 
 documentary—part music film, part historical record created around an 
 epic event that celebrated Black history, culture and fashion. Over the 
 course of six weeks in the summer of 1969, just one hundred miles south of 
 Woodstock, The Harlem Cultural Festival was filmed in Mount Morris Park 
 (now Marcus Garvey Park).\n \nThe footage was never seen and largely 
 forgotten–until now. The feature includes never-before-seen concert 
 performances by Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Sly & the Family Stone, Gladys 
 Knight & the Pips, Mahalia Jackson, B.B. King, The 5th Dimension and 
 more.\n \nSUMMER OF SOUL premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where it 
 won both the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award. It will stream on Hulu in 
 conjunction with Disney General Entertainment’s Onyx Collective; 
 Searchlight Pictures will release it theatrically.\n\nFollow The Film
