Get On Up

The Funk don’t quit

On route to the stage, singer James Brown recalls a life with a turbulent childhood where music was his only constructive release for his passions. With his fire and creative daring, Brown became a star who defiantly created new possibilities in show business both on and behind the stage in face of racism and conventional thinking. Along the way, James would also become a peacemaker who redefined and raised the African-American community’s feeling of self-worth when it was needed most.
