Singing Stream: A Black Family Chronicle
As this delightful film warmly portrays, black gospel music is not just the music of famous singers like Mahalia Jackson or Sam Cooke. It is a binding force in African American family and community life, the "singing stream" through the generations. Inspired songs, from shape note singing and backyard harmonizing to quartet programs and church services, flow freely throughout the film, but it is the abundant warmth, humor and compassion that fills the everyday life of the Landis family of Creedmoor, North Carolina that keeps this program buoyant and joyful between the songs.

town to the big city, and provide an intimate portrait
of a down-to-earth way of life that's passing too
quickly.
