Amazing! This movie really moved me and left me wanting more. That's both a good and bad thing but this is definitely worth the watch if you have any interest in music at all.

It's a disgrace that this sat for 50 years unseen. Sound was incredible and the way the film was re-cut made the wait worth it.

My favorite documentary of any concert. Absolute magic. Mind-blowing footage and heart-melting music. Historical and emotional. Stevie at age 19 and Mahalia Jackson! what more do you need to know? See it in the theater to support the project.

Some great history, perspectives and the music was great. Especially Sly and the Family Stone, Stevie Wonder, too.

Thanks QuestLove OMG we uberly enjoyed Summer of Soul!

A great documentary about an event I didn't even know happened in the summer of 1969! Enjoyed the innocence and graciousness of the performers and attendees.

Another untold part of our history - and a beautiful concert!!

very informative and entertaining. had no idea so many big moments in history took place during this festival, and I never heard about the festival because those big moments pulled all the media attention at the time.

I was exceptionally fascinated by this movie. The music was right in my wheelhouse. And the messages still resonate all these years later. Thank you Questlove for recovering this priceless gem.

Did not want it to end.

Great film coverage of an important Black event that the public should have witnessed decades ago!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST DOCUMENTARY OF A FESTIVAL I'VE EVER EXPERIENCED. A MUST-SEE !! I DARE ANYONE TO BE ABLE TO SIT COMPLETELY STILL WITNESSING THIS MOVIE AND IT'S WONDERFUL MUSIC EXPERIENCE! I KNOW I TAPPED MY TOES, AND FINGERS THRU IT ALL, & WIGGLED REST OF MY BODY TO THE MUSIC!! I WAS 21 IN 1969 AND GOT MARRIED ON JULY 20, 1969, THE DAY OF THE MOON LANDING, WHICH WAS ALSO A DAY DURING THE WOODSTOCK FESTIVAL. I HAD NO IDEA THIS SOUL FESTIVAL WAS GOING ON IN HARLEM. AM SO THRILLED THAT IT WAS TAPED AND FINALLY RELEASED!

So glad these recordings have finally are being seen. I was 17 and we all knew about Woodstock, but so sad it took this long for most of us to know about this really important part of history. The faces and dancing of people at the shows are priceless. 👏👏

This is one off the best movies I've ever seen. The entertainment was outstanding but more importantly, the gathering of all the beautiful black people together having a peaceful and enjoyable time. However, it's so sad that we're just seeing this and how the positive impact of this could have had on people of color. I found no negatives with this movie

Fantastic footage -long long long overdue

Great stories, editing, closeups, context.

Great music, great history, great inspiration!

Really great to see all singers and music of the 60's. Can't believe this films sat in a basement for 50 years!

wonderful to see great performances, and the context in which the Festival took place.

Absolutely loved the music and information presented. It was great to see the artists then, as well as the same artists watching themselves now. Must see!
