    "Everybody Dance' puts the rise and fall of Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers, the emblematic disco duo behind era-defining records "Le Freak", "Good Times" and "Lost In Music", at the heart of a changing landscape, taking in sociopolitical and cultural events such as the Civil Rights struggle, the Black Panthers and the U.S. oil crisis. There are drugs, bankruptcy, uptight artists, fights and muppets but, most importantly, an in-depth appraisal of a group whose legacy remains hugely underrated.
