Review of Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) (2021) by Andrew Crump for The Playlist — 30 Jan 2021

That’s how long “Summer of Soul” sat unseen, hidden from the public? If work this important can be squirreled away from view for this long, and if we let our imaginations run wild, then who knows how many other stories lie buried in anonymity, or where.
