Deadline

Epix's four-part By Whatever Means Necessary: The Times of Godfather of Harlem is inspired by the music and subjects featured in Godfather of Harlem. "Combining interviews, archival footage, evocative imagery and key moments from the Godfather of Harlem series itself, the series will take audiences on a musical journey that brings to life the excitement of 1960’s Harlem, and introduces the artists who dared to use their voices, instruments and lyrics to take a stand against oppression," per Epix. "Through the prism of contemporary artists, audiences will see beyond the black and white historical images into the multicolored souls of musicians unafraid to use music as a weapon against change."
