Audience Member C+ = Slightly above average Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member I would've liked it more if it's primary focus was showcasing black rock acts, rather than having a gaggle of black rock musicians complain about how their skin color makes them too unique for mainstream success. But when the filmmakers did highlight the occasional band, it was pretty interesting. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Read all reviews
