Across four hours, “James Brown: Say it Loud” traces the incredible
trajectory of Brown’s life and career from a 7th grade drop-out arrested and jailed at the age of
16 for breaking into a car in the Jim Crow-era South, to an entertainment legend whose
groundbreaking talent and unique perspective catapulted him to become a cultural force. His
words, songs, style and moves inspired musical revolutions and molded a nation’s view of Black
Pride and Black masculinity. Consistently facing obstacles and unbelievable odds, the
documentary details how Brown persevered through decades of personal demons, racial
injustice, and career setbacks to find redemption and become one of, if not the, most
celebrated and influential artists of the 20th century. Featuring never-before-seen archival
interviews and performances of James Brown, plus interviews with friends, family, musicians
and proteges including Mick Jagger, Questlove, Bootsy Collins, LL Cool J, The Rev. Al Sharpton,
Chuck D, Dallas Austin, Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, his children Deanna, Yamma and Larry
Brown, and many more, “James Brown: Say It Loud” is a definitive look at a complicated life and
a reflection on the immense impact Brown continues to have on music and culture today.
