Can i get an amen ?




A critical analysis of probably the most widely sampled drum break in electronica`s history.

From NWA to the backbone beat of drum and bass to Squarepusher to Jeep adverts and beyond.
This documentary charts the path of 6 seconds of pure soul rhythm taken from the Winston`s 1969 b-side amen brother.

And questions the legality of ownership, copyright and its relationship with cultural expression.
