{"product_id":"soul-power-bluray-dvd","title":"SOUL POWER (BLURAY \u0026 DVD)","description":"\u003cp\u003e Soul Power is a vérité documentary - compiled entirely from footage shot in 1974 - of the astonishing back-to-Africa 3-day music festival \"Zaire 74\". It was held in Kinshasa ahead of the biggest boxing event of all time: the Muhammad Ali-George Foreman \"Rumble in the Jungle\". Directed by Jeffrey Levy-Hinte, editor of Leon Gast s Oscar®-winning (Best Documentary) When We Were Kings , and sourced from the same archival pool, Soul Power features a legendary line-up of African and African-diaspora musicians - all of whom are at the very peak of their creative powers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlongside Ali s wit and wisdom - profoundly lyrical in its own right - vibrant street scenes of downtown Kinshasa, and \"fly-on-the-wall\" footage of the festival s staging, rehearsals, and jams, the three nights of concerts (lensed by Albert Maysles and a host of other legendary cameramen) offer electrifying performances by James Brown, B.B. King, Bill Withers, Sister Sledge, Miriam Makeba, The Spinners, Big Black, The Crusaders, Celia Cruz, and many more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe concert has achieved mythological significance as the definitive Africa(n) - American musical event of the 20th Century and only now, after years of painstaking restoration - legal wrangling prevented an edit and release at the time of filming - Soul Power joins the pantheon of concert film classics, taking its place alongside others of the late-1960s and early-1970s, including Monterey Pop, Woodstock, Gimme Shelter, Soul to Soul, and Wattstax. The Masters of Cinema Series is proud to present Soul Power for home viewing in the UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSPECIAL FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNew high-definition transfer of the film\u003cbr\u003eExclusive video interview with the director, Jeffrey Levy-Hinte\u003cbr\u003e30 minutes of deleted behind-the-scenes footage\u003cbr\u003eExtra concert performances by James Brown, Sister Sledge, the Pointer Sisters, and others\u003cbr\u003eOptional SDH subtitles for the hard of hearing\u003cbr\u003e36 page full colour booklet featuring archival publicity stills, a director s statement, and a compilation of reminiscences by the \"Zaire 74\" organisers and performers\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eureka","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54920970797435,"sku":"EKA70084","price":48.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0075\/3926\/1492\/files\/SOUL_POWER.jpg?v=1735741914","url":"https:\/\/shop.terracottadistribution.com\/en-nl\/products\/soul-power-bluray-dvd","provider":"TerracottaDistribution","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
