Indie Lens Pop-Up: WE WANT THE FUNK!

Stanley Nelson's syncopated voyage through the history of funk music, from early roots to 1970s urban funk and beyond.

WE WANT THE FUNK! is a syncopated voyage through the history of funk music, spanning from African, soul, and early jazz roots, to its rise into the public consciousness. Featuring James Brown's dynamism, the extraterrestrial funk of George Clinton's Parliament Funkadelic, transformed girl group Labelle, and Fela Kuti's Afrobeat, the story also traces funk's influences on both new wave and hip-hop.
