Only the brave or foolish ventured into Mississippi in the summer of 1964. And yet, as the Civil Rights Movement came to a boil, two groups of music enthusiasts from opposite coasts (one with John Fahey in tow) converged there to search for long-forgotten Delta blues men like Son House… You wouldn’t believe this tale if it were fiction, but Samuel D. Pollard’s rousing documentary, narrated by Common and featuring music by Gary Clark Jr., Lucinda Williams and others, resonates with #blacklivesmatter.
