Sun Ra: A Joyful Noise

Jazz bandleader and visionary Sun Ra claimed to have been born on Saturn: a prophet from the stars, he found himself on Earth with a mission to lead his black brothers and sisters out of a racist society and into a better place. Sun Ra and his unique community, an “inter-galactic” orchestra with exceptional music, costumes and philosophy, are the subject of a classic documentary made in France in 1980.
