In 1974, Muhammad Ali and George Foreman held their heavyweight title fight in Zaire, billing it as the "Rumble in the Jungle". A three-day music festival was staged concurrently, and B.B. King was the headlining act. Anyone who has ever had the fortune to see B.B. King play live, even in his later, seated years knows that he is a consummate showman. B.B. King: Live in Africa '74 presents the man at the peak of his powers, as a performer and as a player.

É 1974. Muhammad Ali tem 32 anos e o seu passado é considerado por muitos, nobre. George Foreman é dez anos mais novo e é o campeão mundial dos pesos pesados. O promotor Don King quer fazer o seu próprio nome e oferece aos lutadores cinco milhões de dólares para cada um, para lutarem um contra o outro, e quando aceitam, King só tem que vir com o dinheiro. Ele encontra um patrocinador, Mobutu Sese Suko, o ditador do Zaire, e "Rumble in the Jungle" é definido, incluindo um festival musical que apresenta alguns dos melhores artistas negros da América, como James Brown e B.B. King.

Released in 1977 and directed by Jerry Garcia, is a film that captures performances from the Grateful Dead's October 1974 five-night stand at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. This end-of-tour run marked the beginning of an extended hiatus for the band, with no shows planned for 1975. The movie also faithfully portrays the burgeoning Deadhead scene. The film features the "Wall of Sound" concert sound system that the Dead used for all of 1974.

This film documents the coal miners' strike against the Brookside Mine of the Eastover Mining Company in Harlan County, Kentucky in June, 1973. Eastovers refusal to sign a contract (when the miners joined with the United Mine Workers of America) led to the strike, which lasted more than a year and included violent battles between gun-toting company thugs/scabs and the picketing miners and their supportive women-folk. Director Barbara Kopple puts the strike into perspective by giving us some background on the historical plight of the miners and some history of the UMWA.
