Directed by Academy Award-winning filmmaker Michel Gondry, the film captures Chappelle organizing a free block party concert in Brooklyn on September 18, 2004, inspired by the 1973 concert documentary Wattstax. Despite intermittent rain, the concert continued uninterrupted, featuring performances from a lineup of hip-hop and R&B artists, including The Fugees in their first reunion since their 1997 breakup, Kanye West, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, The Roots, Common, John Legend, Kool G Rap, and Dead Prez. ## Credits - **Director:** [Michel Gondry](https://cinepixo.com/people/michel-gondry) - **Screenplay:** [Dave Chappelle](https://cinepixo.com/people/dave-chappelle) - **Producer:** [Dave Chappelle](https://cinepixo.com/people/dave-chappelle) - **Director of Photography:** [Ellen Kuras](https://cinepixo.com/people/ellen-kuras) ## Cast - [Kanye West](https://cinepixo.com/people/kanye-west) - [John Legend](https://cinepixo.com/people/john-legend) - [Erykah Badu](https://cinepixo.com/people/erykah-badu) - [Yasiin Bey](https://cinepixo.com/people/yasiin-bey) - [Freeway](https://cinepixo.com/people/freeway) - [Bilal](https://cinepixo.com/people/bilal) - [Wyclef Jean](https://cinepixo.com/people/wyclef-jean) - [Lil' Cease](https://cinepixo.com/people/lil-cease) - [Keyshia Cole](https://cinepixo.com/people/keyshia-cole) - [Pras](https://cinepixo.com/people/pras) - [Cody Chesnutt](https://cinepixo.com/people/cody-chesnutt) - [Martin Luther McCoy](https://cinepixo.com/people/martin-luther-mccoy) - [Kool G Rap](https://cinepixo.com/people/kool-g-rap) - [Jill Scott](https://cinepixo.com/people/jill-scott) - [Fugees](https://cinepixo.com/people/fugees) ## Criticism on CinePixo No reviews published yet.
