From the underground dance clubs of Chicago’s South Side, a group of friends transformed a local sound into a global cultural movement. At its heart was Vince Lawrence, a visionary who recorded the first house music track, igniting a force of radical unity that transcended the city’s entrenched segregation. Blending vibrant interviews with rare archival footage, this film tells the story of how house music became a joyous rebellion against repression.
