Winner - Best Documentary Feature, Academy Awards, 2022
Winner - Grand Jury Prize, Documentary, Sundance Film Festival, 2021
In this Oscar-winning doc—his very first feature film—Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson presents a powerful and transporting documentary. Part music film and part historical record, Summer of Soul centres 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). The footage was largely forgotten—until now. Summer of Soul shines a light on the importance of history to our spiritual well-being and stands as a testament to the healing power of music during times of unrest, both past and present. The feature includes 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.
