"The resilience of the soul in the throes of life's pain" brings to life the core of the blues. A story of shocking performances by legendary blues musicians and the love and struggles of a young couple living in Harlem. -In the early 1970s, there was a resurgence of interest in the Delta blues. Music documentarian Robert Mansouris traveled to the Mississippi Delta to capture on film the remnants of authentic American blues, filming candid interviews and intimate performances by B.B. King and other legendary musicians. His goal was not only to document the music, but also to explore the cultural and political factors that make the blues such an expressive and stirring musical form. In parallel, he dramatized the tumultuous relationship of a young couple living in Harlem (the couple navigates their struggle against poverty and prejudice), daring to blur the line between documentary and fiction, successfully inviting the viewer into the heart of the blues.
