WATTSTAX is an amazing musical and cultural artifact. The film's main focus is the Watts Summer Festival's 1972 concert, featuring performances by Isaac Hayes, Rufus Thomas, The Staple Singers, The Bar-Kays, Luther Ingram, and a host of other legendary soul singers. Wattstax is highly entertaining, enlightening, engaging, hinging together a crucial and turbulent time in American history. Dig it!
