Product Information
Director Mel Stuart battled for years to get the clearance to release this film on video. Lucky for us, because even today, it is an incredibly moving portrait of a community coming together in the aftermath of the violent Watts riots. The emotion conveyed in the music and subjects of the film culminate in a revealing portrait of a strong African American community that resonates today.The film centers on the Watts Summer Festival concert at the Los Angeles Coliseum in August, 1972. Unique performances from Isaac Hayes, The Staple Singers, Rufus Thomas, The Bar-Kays, and a host of others, are intercut with interviews with Watts's residents. Some of the residents are celebrities and future celebrities, such as Richard Pryor well before he became famous, and THE LOVE BOAT'S Ted Lange. The film captures not only the sound and sentiment of a community, but depicts a rare panorama of 1970s Los Angeles. WATTSTAX is an electric, enlightening, and unforgettable cultural time capsule.Product Identifiers

Gr8 Artist!
Even tho this event is well over 30 yrs. past I still remember the events of the day. The DVD just bought back good memories. Artist who were little to unknown became famous and are not no longer with us. Rufus Thomas in those Pink Hot Pants what the bomb! Issac Hayes was so cool. Gr8 DVD.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Well done
I purchased this for my mother who is 64 years old and she loves it. A captivating and polarizing Era to say the least. We all enjoyed watching it.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Owning a sweet piece of history
Commentaries in the 30th anniversary edition worth the price of admission. While I'd seen the concert before, the background explained made it shine all the more.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
