We Want the Funk documents the rise, reign, and legacy of the funk music genre. Chronologically progressing through the history of funk, the film addresses its roots and its influence. It mines the culture, highlights the talent that made it all possible, and emphasizes the political and cultural movements that stood alongside it. We Want the Funk! is an engaging, and educational, experience! (Written by Connor Gerraughty, ’26)
