DISCO'S REVENGE
With a treasure trove of interviews and incredible archival footage from Nile Rodgers and Chic, Billy Porter, Nona Hendryx and LaBelle, Grandmaster Flash, Jellybean Benitez, Sylvester, Martha Wash, and many more, DISCO'S REVENGE pulsates with the sound and soul of disco music, as it explores the enduring impact this oft-maligned genre of music has had across generations.
As told by the people who were there, who lived it, and found community on the dancefloor, this film isn’t just about why disco mattered...but why it still matters, and endures to this day.
Through sometimes violent attempts to erase any traces of disco from music history, to its evolution and endurance as a uniting force, this is a film that proves once and for that disco never died!
