James Brown - Once Were Warriors

There's this movie, Once Were Warriors, that tells the story of a small New Zealand family, struggling to make it in a New Zealand that is quite unfamiliar to their tribal ancestors. In the movie, the main character, the matriarch of the family, comes to a bittersweet but redefining point. She realizes that all of her immediate family's woes have occurred because of their disconnect to their heritage and tradition.

Watching the following performance of James Brown on Soul Train, gives me such a bittersweet feeling, because it speaks to a time where there was no disconnect to heritage and tradition...
