Mississippi Blues

See the American South through the eyes of one of French cinema’s most illustrious filmmakers. Fascinated by a culture he knows primarily through books, music, and film, Bertrand Tavernier, along with southerner and fellow filmmaker Robert Parrish, embarks on a journey that takes him from the Mississippi Delta to Chicago. Steeped in Black American blues and gospel music, MISSISSIPPI BLUES offers a unique outsider’s perspective on the rich social, cultural, and political fabric of the region.
