Finding the Funk
2014 · Movie · 90 min · ★ 7.2
Filmmaker-historian Nelson George conducts a passionate archeology of funk music replete with loving testimonials about funk heydays from now-mythical music makers like Sly Stone, Bootsy Collins and George Clinton. With The Roots' Questlove as our guide, George carves out a nostalgic portrait of funk music as an enduring artistic assertion of the black experience in the USA.
