Title: BLACK WAX with Gil Scott-Heron

Description:

This 79-minute film (plus 9-minute out-take) showcases the art, life, and personality of the great African American poet-singer-songwriter-author Gil Scott-Heron. Many have called Scott-Heron the forefather of hip-hop and of socially conscious rap music, and UK music weekly Melody Maker once dubbed him “the most dangerous musician alive.” Filmed around Washington, D.C. Newly remastered. “It is doubtful that any musician has been better served by a film documentary. Brilliant - funny, moving and fast-paced. When Scott-Heron sings, he seems to be glowing with passion and sincerity.” - Ken Tucker, Philadelphia Inquirer Please contact footage@globalimageworks.com for licensing or a screener of the entire film.
