Portrait of Maurice White and Earth Wind and Fire.
This was the opening night film at this year's Tribeca Festival which also featured a concert by the band. I didn't catch the film at the festival and instead saw it on HBO. In weird way I'm kind of glad I didn't see it on the big screen since it's less about the music and more about the man.
This is an unexpected film. A warts and all look at the man who gave us some of the great songs from the last 50 years. This is a film that is not all rainbows and bunnies. The truth is that it presents a White as bothe a genius and a guy you'd like to punch in the face. He hurt a lot of people and they explain their feelings.
I loved that... and at the same time it makes me want to reconsider the music. That's a good thing because it means the film does more than just wash over you.
See this film.
