The Flame That Burns Forever

The Black Fire Documentary is a story about the Spiritual Jazz Movement through highlighting Plunky's contemporaries such as Sun ra.  The Black Fire Documentary is also about the Black Cultural Movements of the time, specifically in DC, but also in California and New York.
