What happens
Take Me to the River is a 2014 American documentary film directed by Martin Shore about music of Memphis, Tennessee. It premiered on March 11, 2014, at SXSW film festival in Austin, Texas. The film was released on Netflix in August 2016, two years after its initial release. The documentary celebrates the intergenerational and interracial musical influence of Memphis in the face of pervasive discrimination and segregation. The film brings multiple generations of award-winning Memphis and Mississippi Delta musicians together, following them through the creative process of recording a historic new album, to re-imagine the utopia of racial, gender and generational collaboration of Memphis in its heyday. A related education initiative partnered with Berklee College of Music to produce a curriculum and events based on the film. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
