Sun Ra: Space is the Place
Space age prophet, jester, shaman-philosopher and avant-jazz keyboardist Sun Ra lands his spaceship in Oakland and disembarks on a musical odyssey that takes in black power, inner-city rap sessions and a world concert to blow your mind.

Originally released in a truncated version due to cuts requested by Sun Ra (apparently due to prudishness over the more salacious elements of the plot), Space is the Place was re-released in 2003 with the reinstated scenes, cementing the film's cult reputation as the trippiest sci-fi-meets- blaxploitation film ever!
