"A candid, colorful and deeply meaningful sociocultural time capsule."
—Washington Post
Stax brought out the stars for this massive day-long concert held after the 1972 Watts riots, including Isaac Hayes, the Staple Singers, and Rufus Thomas. Along with an awe-inspiring round of “I Am Somebody,” the live wire that is Richard Pryor elevates the film to greatness.
