Merging Blaxploitation and B-movie science fiction flourishes with the mystic luminosity of intergalactic free jazz legend Sun Ra, this Afrofuturist cult classic unfolds like a fever dream. Beyond the sublime frequencies lies astute social commentary of the chess-game fate of Black inner-city youth.
