We Want The Funk! is a syncopated voyage through the history of funk music, spanning from African, soul, and early jazz roots, to its rise into the public consciousness. Featuring James Brown's dynamism, the extraterrestrial funk of George Clinton's Parliament Funkadelic, transformed girl group Labelle, and Fela Kuti's Afrobeat, the story also traces funk's influences on both new wave and hip-hop. “Born in the Midwest scene in the heat of post-Civil Rights energy, [funk] became a form of joyful resistance and an integral part of the revolution of the era, while redefining pop culture in the U.S. and globally.” says Director Stanley Nelson.
