New Movie A | Celebration Os Life “Save The Children” is a celebration of life filmed at last year’s Black Exposition held in Chicago by Operation PUSH (People United to Save Humanity). It’s an experience, a movie that depicts the five days of Expo presented in musical and narrative form and leaves those who have seen it inspired and revitalized. Paramount Pictures has acquired the United States and Canadian distribution rights to “Save the Children”. The movie premieres in New york City on Wednesday, September 19 uptown in Harlem at the famed 125th Street Apollo Theater, and downtown at the Criterion Theater. “Save the Children” features the musical talents of such stars as Marvin Gaye (he opens with the theme song), the Jackson Five, the Staple Singers, The Temptations, The Main Ingredient, Isaac Hayes, Bill Withers, Curtis Mayfield. One of the highlights is when Sammy Davis, Jr. appears - just after he had embraced President Nixon at the Republican National Convention. Entering to boos from the crowd and needing the Rev. Jesse Jackson of PUSH to plead that he be given a chance, Sammy proved his worth as an entertainer and a “man” by exiting to cheers and sustained applause. Other entertainers include Roberta Flack, Quincy Jones, Gladys Knight and the Pips and Nancy Wilson and the Rev. James Cleveland, among others. Also featured are such personalities as Don Cornelius, Ossie Davis, Dick Gregory, Smokey Robinson, Richard Roundtree, Kim Weston and Bill Russell. It’s an experience, watching these on stage and the hundreds of thousands who came from all over for five days and stayed in relays to see the show starring the headliners. Producer Matt Robinson describes the film as “the hours when people rocked to make a better world.” It all started with Operation PUSH, which in turn goes back to Operation Breadbasket and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference. Sponsored by Operation PUSH, Expo each year is hied at the Chicago Amphitheater, three square blocks of ex-cowbarn in what used to be the old stockyard section, which in 1968 housed the Democratic National Convention. Marvin Gaye, who sings the theme song actually provided the title, “Save the Children”. There’s a different theme each year. “Save the Black Colleges” is Expo 73’s theme. i. Back in 1971, Executive Producer Clarence Avant approached Matt Robinson about filming the acts at Expo to get more mileage for the benefit of Operation PUSH. The question was who was to do the financing. To avoid the headaches of commercial organizations, they finally applied to the Ford Foundation which came up with , $750,000 for the production. “Not a grant,” Matt explains. “It was a loan, it’s a totally different thing.” Matt Robinson emphasizes the positive approach in “Save the Children,” unlike that of other rock films, leaning heavily on the drug culture and despair. “Although it’s in a largely Black framework," he says, “by the time we got to the segment at the end, where Marvin Gaye is singing ’What’s Going On?’ we turn to various forms of international footage. Using children all over the world takes it out of a monoracial concept, into a very broad international human concept, which is all part of the same concept, which is all part of the same SAND BAR PLAZA ■ 200 BLOCK OF SAND BAR FERRY ROAD H THRIF-TEE SUPER MARKET GROCERIES- MEATS - BEVERAGES • ■ JOHNSON'S LAUNDERMAT NEWLY OPENED - ALL MODERN EQUIPMENT ■ BLACKMON'S BARBER SHOP ■ HAhRCUT»-MAIR®TYLES - BLOW-OUTS GEORGIA concern. “The film as it builds generalizes from the specific.
