Documentary: I Was There When House Took Over the World

A film about the beginning of house music from the same TV company that made Pump Up the Volume 20 years ago. The question is: is there anything to add to that two-hour historical picture? It turns out that yes, there is. The creators focused on the connection between house and disco. The main idea is that in segregated Chicago in the late 1970s, the boycott of disco music by the white population with the ritual burning of funk, soul, blues, gospel and disco records meant not only rejection of black culture, but also the message know your place. And this was in the North, where mores were milder than in more traditional Alabama, for example.
