Movie Haiku:Doc about Strachwitz--founder of Arhoolie Records--and his passionate love for American Roots Music. Combines classic performance footage with great interviews + snippets of youngsters bringing these old traditions to new generations. FYI, Chris Simon is the widow of Les Blank (to whom film is dedicated) & this helps account for the great access CS/MG had.
