Contrary to a traditional music documentary, the series (3 x 60') will weave the narrative of the music industry within the context of racial exploitation. Taking a deep dive into the unjust disparity of profits earned by Black artists, the docuseries will shine a spotlight on the underlying structural racism prevalent in the music world. "It’s about bringing the music industry to account for the injustice inflicted on generations of musical talents," Idris Elba shared, reiterating the urgent need for change and recognition.
