SLY LIVES! (Aka The Burden of Black Genius)

Curated by Adrian Ruiz

[Original Motion Picture Soundtrack]

Sometimes you need the FUNK to get out of the funk. And for my money, no one was funkier, cooler, and doper than Sly Stone and his band Sly and The Family Stone.

“SLY LIVES! (aka The Burden of Black Genius)” examines the life and legacy of Sly & The Family Stone, the groundbreaking band led by the charismatic and enigmatic Sly Stone. The film captures the band’s rise, reign, and subsequent fadeout while shedding light on the unseen burden that comes with success for Black artists in America. See it, hear it, and feel it now on Hulu
