Black Soil Film Festival: We Want The Funk!

In the heat of the 1970s, a new sound exploded: funk. Born from gospel’s fire, jazz’s freedom,and the heartbeat of Black resistance, it was more than music, it was a movement. We Want the Funk! dives deep into that revolution, from church basements and block parties to thecosmic stages of James Brown, George Clinton, and Bootsy Collins. Through rare footageand legendary performances, it reveals how funk became the DNA of modern music, rhythmas resistance, and groove as liberation. “Because funk was never just about the beat. It wasabout being free enough to move”.
