Max Roach: The Drum Also Waltzes

Sam Pollard, Ben Shapiro
2023 / USA / 83 min

The epic and tumultuous musical and personal journey of towering 20th-century artist – Afro-American drummer and activist Max Roach. His role in the jazz revolutions of the 1940s and 1950s alongside luminaries like Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and Clifford Brown, his forays into the avant-garde and hip-hop experiments, his battles with personal demons, and his unwavering dedication to championing racial equality. Roach was resolutely convinced that music could, and should, be a weapon.
