The story of one man’s journey through blues music to spiritual redemption. 82-year-old Richard Trice was one of the last survivors of the heyday of the blues in Durham, North Carolina in the 1930s. Through his memory and the memory of others, a world of African American family, music and community emerges. The film is both a celebration of the Piedmont blues and an intimate document of Trice’s attempt to look back and give meaning to his life.
