I Am the Blues: Directed by Daniel Cross. With Jimmy Duck Holmes, L.C. Ulmer, Bobby Rush, Little Freddie King. A tour of the juke joints and other venues of the legendary Chitlin Circuit in the Mississippi Delta, including performances by aging blues musicians in their eighties who used to play the circuit.
“Short (20 min or so), very moving little drama about a woman in French colonial Montreal awaiting her execution, and the friendship that grows between her and an incarcerated soldier who inhabits an adjacent jail cell. If you can find it, itu0026#39;s well worth watching. Based on a true story.”
