Electric purgatory The fate of the black rocker

DVD - 2009

A documentary that examines the struggles of black rock musicians and the industry's ambivalence towards them by combining scintillating performance footage and provocative interview clips. Director Raymond Gayle spent the better part of a year traveling around the United States, interviewing many of black rock's elite including Fishbone, Vernon Reid, Adam Falcon, Jimi Hazel, and more. Also attempts to dissect the stigma black rock musicians face in the black community.
