Sun Ra and his Solar Myth Arkestra return to Earth after several years in space. Ra proclaims himself to be “the alter-destiny” and sets out to enact his plan to use music as salvation for the black community—even battling with the devil himself to save black people from oppression.
Merging Blaxploitation and B-movie science fiction flourishes with the mystic luminosity of intergalactic free jazz legend Sun Ra, this Afrofuturist cult classic unfolds like a fever dream. Beyond the sublime frequencies lies astute social commentary of the chess-game fate of Black inner-city youth.
