Review of Soul to Soul

Soul to Soul (1971)
7/10
Fine documentary
3 May 2024
This is a note based on the 2004 edition of the movie on DVD, and my general feeling is that this movie could have been a great documentary, but too much cutting has affected the integrity of the complete event, including the performances by groups from Ghana, and the confrontation of the African-American artists with the country's culture and with the people on the street, as when the Staple sisters go shopping. The American artists gave it all on the stage, clearly enjoying the experience, but it is also definitely worth a look as an invaluable time capsule. (I saw the version, sans the Robert Flack footage).
