Au milieu des années 80, les légendaires studios d’animation de Walt Disney traversent une passe difficile. L’avenir se joue entre les nouveaux artistes avides d’innovation et les anciens qui refusent de céder le contrôle.

A l’été 1969, à la même période que les mythiques concerts de Woodstock qui se déroulaient à une centaine de kilomètres de là, le Harlem Cultural Festival de New York donnait lieu à une impressionnante série de représentations, et cela devant plus de 300 000 personnes. Largement tombée dans l’oubli, cette manifestation dont les images n’avaient jamais été diffusées revient aujourd’hui sur le devant de la scène grâce au travail accompli par le musicien, auteur-compositeur, DJ et journaliste Ahmir « Questlove » Thompson, qui signe avec SUMMER OF SOUL sa première réalisation pour le compte de Onyx Collective et Searchlight Pictures.

The most glittering, expensive, and exhausting videotaping session in television history took place Friday February 19, 1982 at New York's Radio City Music Hall. The event, for which ticket-buyers paid up to $1,000 a seat (tax-deductible as a contribution to the Actors' Fund) was billed as "The Night of 100 Stars" but, actually, around 230 stars took part. And most of the audience of 5,800 had no idea in advance that they were paying to see a TV taping, complete with long waits for set and costume changes, tape rewinding, and the like. Executive producer Alexander Cohen estimated that the 5,800 Radio City Music Hall seats sold out at prices ranging from $25 to $1,000. The show itself cost about $4 million to produce and was expected to yield around $2 million for the new addition to the Actors Fund retirement home in Englewood, N. J. ABC is reputed to have paid more than $5 million for the television rights.
