About this movie

Big Bill Broonzy would inspire a generation of musicians, yet he was not the man they believed him to be.

With contributions from Pete Seeger, Ray Davies, Keith Richards, Martin Carthy, John Renbourn, and members of the Broonzy family. Broonzy's own words are read by Clarke Peters.
