Sundance 2021: Summer of Soul
Winner of the 2021 Sundance Documentary competition, Summer of Soul, can perhaps best be described as an engrossing history lesson with an irresistible beat. The documentary marks the directing debut of Ahmir Questlove Thompson and it takes us back to the torrid summer of 1969, when a public concert series, collectively dubbed the Harlem Cultural Festival, took place in Harlem’s Mount Morris Park.
