My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this quite by accident, but what followed was an incredible film not only about music, but of the human spirit. Bela Fleck is an incredible musician who wants to show the world that the banjo, an instrument used to illustrate the "Hillbilly" stereotypes (usually thought to be a racist/ignorant group) was actually brought to the US from Africa. He goes to small villages and big cities, where he jams with others using instruments both new and unknown. And the music they make is incredible.
If you're a fan of great music or enjoy seeing another part of the world and how they live, please give this documentary a watch. The songs are wonderful and watching the people play them on their handmade instruments is an incredible joy!
Music is a universal language, and this film really goes a long way to prove that.
