Film notes

Elliott Erwitt had a passion for bluegrass, and you can feel it throughout this film. His signature shot-making and warmth come through in candid moments, capturing the homespun charm of bluegrass musicians in rural North Carolina. The film provides a unique window into the roots of bluegrass and the culture of the rural South. Erwitt lets the music play, featuring fiddler solos, banjo duos, and full band performances. Towards the end, he caps it off with a brother-sister dance performance that mesmerises and makes you smile. The film captures an important moment in time in American music culture and has been archived in the Library of Congress and numerous other libraries.
