Synopsis
In Memphis, one of the most disaster-stricken American cities, the Stax Music Academy is an oasis.
Founded on the legacy of the legendary label from the 1960s which accompanied the struggle for Civil Rights, this free, extra-curricular music school allows passionate adolescents to learn and understand black American history through discovery of the greatest Soul hits.
A musical journey through time and a dive into the thought of a new generation.
