Up From the Streets of New Orleans

107 mins
A spotlight on the culture of New Orleans through the lens of music.

Hosted by Oscar nominee and six-time Grammy Winner Terence Blanchard, this remarkable film tells a story of how music became a vehicle to help battle the injustices of Jim Crow laws and racial segregation, how music helped bring the city back from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, and how music is still a vital form of expression against ongoing cultural & racial biases. This not to be missed film showcases how the music of New Orleans became a celebration of life and a foundation of the cultural resilience of our remarkable city.
