During the same summer as Woodstock, over 300,000 people attended the Harlem Cultural Festival, celebrating African American music and culture, and promoting Black pride and unity. The footage from the festival sat in a basement, unseen for over 50 years, keeping this incredible event in America's history lost — until now.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The film is a documentary about the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, which took place in the summer. There is no indication of any Christmas setting, plot relevance, iconography, or thematic connection to the holiday."
