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.

World music lovers of the world,unite! This is the film you have been waiting for.

Whether your interest is Culture, Travel or Music you will love this film. Bela Fleck takes his banjo to Uganda, Tanzania, Gambia and Mali seeking the African roots of the banjo.
