| Soul Power: James Brown |
"Godfather of Soul" James Brown screams onto the screen in this electrifying new work documenting the wild concert that preceded the legendary Ali vs Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle" bout of 1974.
Containing no contemporary interviews and very much a companion piece to Leon Gast's
When We Were Kings (which Levy-Hinte co-edited),
Soul Power is part concert film, part social commentary, all sweat and all pelvis. The film captures the most explosive of musical moments with absolute precision.
Filled with great off-the-cuff sequences and interviews, this true vérité work brings together some of the world's greatest R&B artists of the time including B.B. King and Bill Withers. Joining the fray are African musicians who perform against a backdrop of organisational chaos which could go horribly awry at any moment - especially with Messrs Brown and Ali at the epicentre.
