Starring:

Spanning half a century, the history of Parliament Funkadelic is as varied in its musical stylings as in the rotating cast of musicians that have graced Parliament, Funkadelic and the collective P-Funk stage. From their early days as a literal barbershop quintet to the rise and fall—and rise again—of the famed Mothership, P-Funk’s five decades and counting also reflect larger changes in fashion, funk and more.

This film profiles George Clinton, the mastermind behind the band Parliament Funkadelic. It reveals how Clinton expressed the cultural alienation of young African Americans, creating an alternate universe of "aliens" that brought the redemptive power of funk to a world sorely in need of a new point of view.

This was the dream Plainfield, Oakland, Seattle, and Cleveland assembled the team...... Mr. Wone
