Questlove To Direct New Earth Wind & Fire Documentary
GRAMMY/OSCAR winner QUESTLOVE will direct a documentary about EARTH, WIND & FIRE, set for release in 2025. Existing group members VERDINE WHITE, PHILIP BAILEY, and RALPH JOHNSON are all on board with the project. QUESTLOVE posted on his INSTAGRAM:
“Coming in 2025… the definitive story of the elements. The story of how a band led by a genius from CHICAGO changed our way of thinking, our minds, and our hearts.”
“Having been baptized in the Afrocentric joy river of this powerhouse unit, I’ve learned about them, I’ve learned about us & more importantly I’ve learned about and rediscovered myself in the process.”
“I’m so excited to be directing a documentary preserving their positive but VERY vulnerable and real story of Soul, Self & Struggle.”
“This is the story of joy, persistence, love, pain, magic, and self-discovery. This is EARTH, WIND & FIRE.”
QUESTLOVE, leader of THE ROOTS, previously (2022) won an OSCAR for his documentary SUMMER OF SOUL. He is also working on a SLY STONE documentary.
