Sun Ra was born in Birmingham: A city he both escaped and never stopped channeling. This documentary dives into how his industrial, segregated hometown helped shape one of jazz’s most otherworldly voices. With rare footage, archival interviews, and neighborhood memories, it traces how Birmingham became the launchpad for a cosmic revolution.
