The Legendary: A Film About The Roots from Cam Be on Vimeo.

Filmmakers Cam Be and Jeff Baraka uncover their brand new mini-film that was shot with the Legendary Roots Crew. Most of the in-depth footage was captured during their live shows and backstage. Below is Cam’s own description of the film:

“During the latter part of 2010 Jeff Baraka and I had the opportunity to cover a number of concerts on the Hennessey Artistry Tour with the Legendary Roots Crew.

I have always been a huge fan of the music created by the best band to ever grace the Hip-Hop genre. In this film I wanted to not only highlight the versatility of a group that has played with most everyone in the industry. But also capture candid moments of real human beings just trying to share the gifts they have been given to the best of their abilities.

In addition to the Hennessey Tour, we got an chance to sit down with drummer ?uestlove at the House of Blues in Chicago as the Roots gave the audience a glimpse of why they are considered by many the hardest working band in show biz. All and all the Roots have proven time again that they are indeed Legendary.”
