Directed by Questlove, the documentary "Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius)" explores the influential journey of Sly & The Family Stone. It chronicles their rise to fame, struggles, and the harsh realities Black artists encounter in America. Featuring insights from renowned musicians and Sly's family, the film aims to humanize Sly Stone, emphasizing his relevance and influence in music history. The documentary premieres on Hulu on February 13, offering a fresh perspective on the band's legacy and Sly's artistry.
"I think our aim to tell the story, to humanize Sly Stone and they're also going to realize that Sly is parallel to other artists they might like. Like, Sly is so influential (...) Our goal is to tell a story of a human being which often isn't allowed in these circumstances."
The documentary features notable guests such as Andre 3000, Chaka Khan, Q-Tip, Nile Rogers, Clive Davis, amongst others along with Sly & The Family Stone band members.
