Director: Jeffrey Levy-Hinte

Studio: Sony Pictures Classics
The Plot: A documentary on the legendary soul music concert staged in Kinshasa, Zaire in 1974, which was staged to compliment the Rumble in the Jungle, the rematch between boxers Muhammad Ali and George Foreman.
THE BUZZ: No offense to hardworking documentarians, but Soul Power andThe Cove are the only documentaries we have on our radar … until The September Issue comes out this fall. We’re also primed for the debut of indie super-producer Jeffrey Levy-Hinte, even if he did just use a lot of cut-out footage from When We Were Kings, the Oscar-winning doc Levy-Hinte edited over 10 years ago (!).
