Soul Power
In 1974, concurrent with Muhammed Ali and George Foreman's 'rumble in the jungle', Kinshasa, capital of then-Zaire, also staged a 3-day music festival with legendary performers such as James Brown, B.B. King and The Spinners. Forward-thinking promoters hired a talented documentary team to capture the event, but the project ran into trouble. Three decades, and many law suits later the remarkable footage, untouched and unedited, was finally released to facilitate the completion of Muhammed Ali doco, 'When We Were Kings'. The editor of that film, Jeffrey Levy-Hinte, made it his personal mission to see the neglected project through to completion, and this unique and powerful time capsule is the result.
