About Jimi Hendrix: Electric Church
This documentary unveils previously unseen footage of Jimi Hendrix's seminal performance at the 1970 Atlanta Pop Festival on July 4th, 1970, playing his greatest hits in front of nearly 500,000 people. With interviews from Hendrix and his fellow musicians, including Paul McCartney and Mitch Mitchell, the insight they provide casts a new light into the musician's personality and genius at the juncture of this important cultural gathering, hailed as the 'Southern Woodstock'.
Directed by John McDermott, Jimi Hendrix: Electric Church leans on a strong ensemble — Jimi Hendrix, Billy Cox, Mitch Mitchell — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2015.
