Save the Children

About This Movie

Save the Children is a fascinating concert film that captures some truly incredible performances, featuring the likes of Marvin Gaye, Jerry Butler, and Roberta Flack. The atmosphere is a blend of soulful melodies and poignant moments, reflecting the social consciousness of the early '70s. It's not just about the music; there's a raw energy that pulses through each act. The pacing feels organic, allowing time for those slow moments where the music lingers and resonates. What stands out is how the film manages to intertwine its musical elements with a sense of purpose, making it more than just a collection of performances.

Save the Children is somewhat of a rarity on the collector’s market, with few physical releases over the years. Originally released on VHS, it has not been widely circulated in digital formats, adding to its allure among collectors. Its scarcity and the unique blend of documentary and musical elements have led to a niche interest in the film, especially among those who appreciate the era's cultural significance.
