Freaknik Documentary Shows What Fest Was Like Before It Went Off the Rails

Freaknik was a massive street party that drew hundreds of thousands of people to the city of Atlanta in the '80s and '90s. Many credit this party for putting Atlanta on the map culturally. Years later, Luther "Uncle Luke" Campbell, Jermaine Dupri, 21 Savage, and many others have partnered up to produce a documentary that captures the vibrancy and uplifting feel of this notorious festival. Freaknik: The Wild Party Never Told shows the origins of Freaknik and how this HBCU-focused event brought joy to the community and continues to uphold an unforgettable legacy. The documentary series is filled with video footage of the time, and captures what it was like being there, and how important it was to so many people. In addition, Freaknik features appearances by Lil Jon, Killer Mike, Jalen Rose, Too $hort, Shanti Das, former Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed, Erick Sermon, CeeLo Green, Rico Wade, Kenny Burns and more.
