The movie basically consists of Sun Ra talking about his philosophies, interspersed with interviews with members of the Arkestra and film of the Arkestra rehearsing and performing. However, the sound quality of this film leaves a lot to be desired; I haven’t seen the newer version of this video/DVD and I hope they remaster the sound, because there are some dynamic moments here with the Arkestra.
