Soul Train: The Hippest Trip In America (USA, 2009)
63 min. - English

Soul Train: The Hippest Trip In America is a delightful journey to the history of black music. This first-rate documentary has been made with love and care, and it tells the story of the most important black music TV show of all time. Soul Train reached 40 years last year. It has been the single most important factor in the world domination of African American music, fashion and dance. The film is not only about the show and its visionary leader Don Cornelius, but also about the development of the music scene of the entire United States, from the African American scene of the 1970s to contemporary beats.

Besides being a spectacular overview of the history of music, Soul Train is also an outstandingly stylish and extremely entertaining. The coolest dance moves, best songs, most colourful outfits, score by Questlove and performances and interviews from people like Chaka Khan, Snoop Dogg, Aretha Franklin, Barry White, Michael Jackson and Sly Stone make Soul Train one of the best music documentaries in a long while. After the screening you’ll be yearning to go to the disco and get the groove on!
