Avant-jazz mystic, Sun Ra, brought his pioneering Afrofuturist vision to the screen within this 1974, John Coney directed film. Derived from Ra's concept album, the film is a wild, kaleidoscopic whirl of science fiction and sharp social commentary, in which the pharaonic Ra and his Arkestra lead an intergalactic movement to resettle the Black race on their utopian space colony.
