Gil Scott Heron: The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (2003x4)

Fecha de emisión: Dic 05, 2003

This documentary from Grammy-winning director Don Letts looks at the godfather of rap's significance to music and civil rights. Scott-Heron's confrontational, no-nonsense street poetry and songwriting skills have inspired the modern Hip-Hop generation. He is perhaps best known for his two 1970s RnB flavored chart hits - The Bottle and Johannesburg - but his work includes more than 20 albums and two novels. Gil has documented, and in many cases anticipated, the massive political and social changes in the United States with anger and integrity. This program features concert footage and contributions from disciples such as Chuck D and Mos Def.
