We want the funk! [videorecording] / by Nelson, Stanley,1951-television director.; London, Nicole,television director.; PBS Distribution (Firm),distributor.; Public Broadcasting Service (U.S.),broadcaster.;
We Want The Funk! is a syncopated voyage through funk's history, from its African and jazz roots to James Brown's early work and the rise of Parliament Funkadelic. Distinctly urban, funk reflected a post- Civil Rights sensibility. The film explores the symbiotic relationship between funk's explosion and the political and racial dynamics of 1970s inner-city America. An unapologetic expression of Black pride, resilience, and joy in the wake of the Civil Rights era. The film explores how funk's infectious grooves became a force of cultural resistance and self-determination. Packed with rare footage, legendary performances, and in-depth interviews with funk pioneers, We Want The Funk! captures the raw energy, deep soul, and unbreakable spirit of funk.E.Subtitled for the deaf and hard-of-hearing (SDH).DVD ; wide screen presentation ; 5.1 surround sound.
