Angelique Jackson Do you remember the 21st night of September? Well, let six-time Grammy winner and Academy Award-winning director Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson remind you — via the definitive documentary on the iconic group Earth Wind & Fire.
Earth, Wind & Fire is one of the most critically and commercially successful pop bands of all time: with more than 90 million records sold, 11 consecutive albums going gold or platinum, six Grammy Awards and indelible hits like ““Shining Star,” “Let’s Groove,” “Reasons” and, of course, “September.” The forthcoming feature documentary, which Questlove teased on social media as coming in 2025, will examine the group’s lasting legacy, cultural impact and enduring body of work with exclusive access to archives of visual, audio and written material, as well as the support of the estate of the late Maurice White and the band. “Having been baptized in the Afrocentric joy river of this powerhouse unit, I’ve learned about them, I’ve learned about us & more importantly, I’ve learned and rediscovered myself in the process,” said Thompson in a statement announcing the project. “I’m so excited to be part of the process of preserving their positive but VERY vulnerable and real story of Soul, Self & Struggle.” A post shared by Questlove (@questlove) In a joint statement, Earth, Wind & Fire band members Philip Bailey, Verdine White and Ralph Johnson, added: “We look forward to this in-depth journey of our band, and are so excited to have Questlove directing the documentary.” The documentary is financed by Fifth Season (“McCartney 3, 2, 1,” “Being Mary Tyler Moore” “Superpower” and “Kiss the Future”), which will also handle sales alongside WME.
