This CAPTIVATING MOVIE, LIKE THE BLUES ITSELF, IS AT ONCE A RECOGNITION OF SOMBER TRUTHS AND A GESTURE OF PROTEST AGAINST THEM.
- CRITIC'S PICK, The NEW YORK TIMES
This film entwines the historical narratives of a naïve, passionate search for old blues musicians with that of the very courageous, violent and necessary struggle for civil rights in America. It succeeds beautifully in melding two elements of the human heart that transcend bigotry and rise above hate: music and righteous activism.
