Rarely screened today, Space is the Place follows the legendary experimental jazz musician Sun Ra and his “Arkestra” in their earnest quest to be space explorers, intent on settling a planet with African Americans, tempting them away from Earth with their music. An intriguing blend of intergalactic card games, time travel, spaceships and music, Space is the Place imagines outer space as a utopian zone free of racism where everyone is free to create their own destiny.
