It's a Mean Old World and Born in The Blues
Present compelling portraits of two traditional black musicians: Rev. Pearly Brown, a bottleneck guitarist and gospel singer; and Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup, a famous blues artist for over three decades. Despite the different sources of inspiration for their music, both had in common a touching eloquence in their singing and playing, and , as evident in these films, a dignity and strength of character that was not crushed by the hard lives they led.

BACKROADS AND BYWAYS
Offer films which capture and preserve aspects of
America's vanishing culture, often featuring musicians
performing within the context of the way of life that
shaped their music. These films document everyday life
in different locales, from the backwoods and small
town to the big city, and provide an intimate portrait
of a down-to-earth way of life that's passing too
quickly.
