In 1972, Jesse Jackson held his Operation PUSH (People United to Save Humanity) exhibition in Chicago that featured an all-star lineup of some of the era’s most successful Black artists, including Roberta Flack, Marvin Gaye, the Jackson 5, Curtis Mayfield, and Bill Withers. Paramount Pictures documented the event for a theatrical release in 1973, then the film fell off the radar…until now.
Music Box Theatre screens films of all genres and from every era of cinema, both new releases and repertory. These films may sometimes contain upsetting, outdated, or offensive material. While we aim to introduce many of our screenings, we do not always provide warnings about potentially triggering content within the films we screen. We encourage our patrons to research the film before they attend using trailers, reviews, or content information found on Common Sense Media, IMDb and DoesTheDogDie.com.
