Sun Ra: Do the Impossible

Expanding the universe of jazz

Poet, Egyptologist, cosmic traveler and one of jazz’s greatest visionaries, Sun Ra defied every earthly category. Born Herman Poole Blount in Alabama, or sent from Saturn depending on whom you ask, he expanded the boundaries of sound, time and identity. With his Arkestra, he transformed jazz into a vessel for freedom and imagination, becoming the godfather of afrofuturism. 

Christine Turner’s radiant documentary fuses rare archives, performances, and philosophy into a mesmerizing cosmic journey: one that urges us to dream beyond reality, listen deeply, and believe in the impossible.
