Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (2021)

Documentary covering the "Black Woodstock," which took place in Harlem over the course of several summer weekends in 1969. There's some terrific never-before-seen footage (because no one was interested in airing it) of well-known musicians including Stevie Wonder, Nina Simone, Gladys Knight, and dozens more. 

But (sigh), the film is in desperate need of some brutal edits. Showing entire numbers -- especially when a lot of the performers were in "jam" mode -- is just too much. And while the musical acts are the main draw, the interviews with the concert-goers were incredibly illuminating. There should've been a LOT more of those (assuming they exist).
