EJC and OPB are proud to present the acclaimed documentary, "WE WANT THE FUNK!"

WE WANT THE FUNK! is a syncopated voyage through the history of funk music, spanning from African, soul, and early jazz roots, to its rise into the public consciousness. Featuring James Brown's dynamism, the extraterrestrial funk of George Clinton's Parliament Funkadelic, transformed girl group Labelle, and Fela Kuti's Afrobeat, the story also traces funk's influences on both new wave and hip-hop.

Filmmakers: Stanley Nelson (Director) and Nicole London (Co-director and Producer)

Before and after the screening enjoy the funky sounds of DJ Aspen.

All ages. Admission is free but please register here.
