"If You're Ready For It - Right On. If Not - This Movie Could Mess Up Your Mind."
Filmed on the rooftops of lower Manhattan, this performance film features the original Last Poets performing 28 numbers adapted from their legendary Concept-East Poetry appearance at New York's Paperback Theater in 1969. Described as “a conspiracy of ritual, street theater, soul music and cinema."
Director: Herbert Danska
