How fun does this look? We’ve got chills just from hearing the screams and cheers of dancing crowds. But, of course, there is a more serious narrative to this mind-blowing concert. “1969 wasn’t just about the music,” Gladys Knight says as we’re reminded about the sense of revolution that was in the air for Black communities at the time.

This is exactly the type of production that needs to be seen on the big screen and with surround sound – a true celebration of the return of cinemas (Electric Cinema, Rich Mix, Curzon Cinemas and Picture Houses are screening it). And, now that the sun is out again, Summer Of Soul is also the perfect film to watch at an outdoor cinema (you can book at Archlight Cinema in Battersea).

It is also now available to stream on Hulu and it is coming to Disney+ on a date that is yet to be confirmed. If you do stream it at home, make sure you’re ready to do some living room dancing and singing (and maybe warn the neighbours).

Summer Of Soul (…Or, When The Revolution Could Not Be Televised) is available to watch on Hulu and is showing at selected cinemas now.
