“Uprooted is a fascinating piece of social history...that questions cultural hierarchies and why it matters when dance and any other art form is shorn of its history.”
THE GUARDIAN UK
“...illuminates an often disrespected genre and a history as complex as that of race in America.”
THE NEW YORKER
“A thoughtful and impassioned look at the often ignored roots of a quintessential art form…”
HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
“…no film in the festival is more urgent”
NEW YORK TIMES
"this documentary will make you fall in love with jazz dance all over again”
