Pass The Popcorn: Jay Z Presents The 'Made In America' Documentary [Trailer]

Lenny Kravitz, Grace Jones, Lauryn Hill, Lion Babe, Thundercat, SZA & More Rock The Afropunk Festival 2015 in Brooklyn, NY.

Jay Z presents the Made In America documentary trailer - a look at the makings of the epic festival fronted by the legendary Brooklyn MC from director Ron Howard. The footage runs through the planning stages and inaugural launch of the annual festival held on the Benjamin Franklin Parkway in Philadelphia. The festival sponsored by Budweiser is constructed to break down barriers between musicians, genres and consumers to foster creative freedom within the confines of an epic outdoor concert experience. Jay Z and Ron Howard feature prominently in the trailer, which moves from exclusive interviews with artists to chats with neighbors of the concert venue who are much less excited about the two-day event, which kicks off tomorrow in Philadelphia. Check the footage below to view the Made In America trailer. Look out for the full documentary, airing October 11th on Showtime.
