This movie is a compilation of the videos which make up the Rhythm Nation album. They include the songs, Miss you Much, Rhythm Nation, Escapade, Alright (extended version with Cab Calloway and Heavy D), Come back to me, Black cat and Love will never do (without you with Djimon Hounsou and Antonio Sabato Jr.)
There is also extra footage at the end where Janet speaks about how some people have responded to the video and have been affected by the issues raised by it. A good example of that includes two girls were affected by the lyrics of "The Knowledge" who almost chose the wrong path by not staying at school. and then realized their mistake. (Be warned, this is a very emotional scene, which could leave you in tears)
Although it's been 30 years since the release of Rhythm Nation, the issues raised by it are just as important now as they were back then. The main songs you should really listen to are "The knowledge"and "Rhythm Nation". The Album itself has some songs with messages worth listening to "State of the World" and "Living in a world (They didn't make)". To be totally honest with you, it's worth getting the Album, The Rhythm Nation 1814 mini film and this compilation.
As it's been 30 years since Rhythm Nation came out, I think would be a good time for it to be released on DVD/Blu-ray which includes the concert promoting this album. I can also speak from experience by talking to people on YouTube, some people are still affected by the issues and messages from Rhythm Nation, I happen to be one of them. Nowadays I'm more of an old school heavy rock/metal fan, but Rhythm Nation has a very special place in my heart which has never left.
Janet came out with a very strong message at the end of the album and the Rhythm Nation 1814 mini film.
"In complete darkness we are all the same, it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us. Don't let your eyes deceive you...".
It was true back in 1989/1990 and it's true 30 years later.
