Josh White - Free and Equal Blues: Rare Performances (2001)
This video begins with a rare filmed snippet from the 1940's, then includes a range of European performances from the 1960's, showing the breath and variety of Josh's repertoire, from traditional blues and gospel to folk revival standards and cabaret material. It captures the intimate, sophisticated style, swing and power that made Josh the most influential guitarist on the early folk scene and on of America's defining entertainers.

Thanks for the memories!
Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
