Max Roach: The Drum Also Waltzes
Sam Pollard, Ben Shapiro
USA • 1 hour 30 minutes Directed by Sam Pollard & Ben Shapiro Max Roach: The Drum Also Waltzes is about a musician whose far-reaching ambitions were inspired and challenged by the inequities of society. His stunningly diverse seven-decade career marked him as one of the great musical artists of the 20th century — and a pioneering cultural activist — at times when the nation was steeped in racism. — T.
