"The Legendary: A Film About The Roots"

via cammovement

A great combination of performance clips and interviews showcasing the Mighty Roots Crew.

What stands out the most, from anything I've ever seen done on the roots - this film is high energy. Most footage or interviews on the roots tend to de-emphasize their uptempo side and focus more on the smoother aspect of their sound... and personalities.

Fresh.

Directed by Cam Be, interviews conducted by Jeff Baraka, produced by Cam Be & Jeff Baraka.

Done in association with OkayPlayer.
