BBC Documentaries - Gil Scott Heron - The Revolution Will not Be Televised

Seizoen: 2006 - Aflevering: 6 / 571 - Eerst uitgezonden: 30 juni 2006 - Episode ID: 26752

This documentary from Grammy-winning director Don Letts looks at the godfather of rap's significance to music and civil rights. Scott-Heron's confrontational, no-nonsense street poetry and songwriting skills have inspired the modern Hip-Hop generation. He is perhaps best known for his two 1970s RnB flavoured chart hits - The Bottle and Johannesburg - but his work includes more than 20 albums and two novels. Gil has documented, and in many cases anticipated, the massive political and social changes in the United States with anger and integrity. This programme features concert footage and contributions from disciples such as Chuck D and Mos Def.
