This doc makes me feel nostalgic for something I never experienced first-hand.
??
I am familiar with a few of the featured artists, having seen some of them live and (within the past 7 or 8 yrs) have been able to find & stream works from them both old and new.. so maybe that is why I feel some sort of way when I watch this film.
I am grateful that Miss DuVernay had the Vision to see that this unique time in music and Los Angeles history was worthy of a cohesive spotlight. Sometimes things like that are not apparent until much later in life.
I enjoyed this film immensely, and find myself watching it somewhat often.
Also - if you liked what you were hearing in the film, many of these people still perform live around SoCal, and their tunes can be found on Spotify & YouTube.
