In the wake of the murder of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. in 1968…Riots occurred in the inner cities of America…This film documents how James Brown single-handedly prevented Boston from going up in flames….The film depicts that remarkable concert and the politics around it. Boston Mayor Kevin White and his colleagues almost by accident realized that by televising the James Brown concert they could keep people indoors that night prevent widespread rioting. The film is testimony to the power of music in general and the power of James Browns music in particular. The film is a tribute to the Godfather of Soul and the role he would come to play in working for civil rights.
