Reelblack's homegirl Chivonnie caught up with filmmakers Jeffrey Levy-Hinte and Leon Gast after the screening of their new film, SOUL POWER at the 2009 Silverdocs Film Festival in Silver Spring, MD. Assembled from footage shot in Zaire in 1974 during the music festival that coincided with the Ali-Foreman championship fight (chronicled in the Oscar winning doc, When We Were Kings), Soul Power features never-before seen live performances by James Brown, Bill Withers, Miram Makeba, The Spinners and more. On DVD now through Sony Pictures Classics. Visit www.soulpowerthemovie.com for details.

  • one of the greatest films of all time.....they need to make another film..with just the james brown performance next...wishfull thinking at best

  • Best concert film ever. If you have a chance to see it, you have to go. The sound quality is amazing and the image is awesome, too. The performances will blow you away but there is more to it than that, lots of great "behind the scenes" pieces. Great interview.

  • looks like a beautiful film

  • Wolper and Stuart also made Willy Wonka - anyway, that's where I've heard of them.

    What a sight. That must have been a heck of a time back in the mid-70's with all of those people. The atmosphere had to have been electric.

    Nice interview! 5 stars.
