WE WANT THE FUNK!
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.
