Music in Their Bones: The Music & People of Sand Mountain

(US) |

This is a film about the people and music of Sand Mountain, Alabama. It is a musical journey into the lives of a handful of unique mountain people. At the heart of the piece is banjo master Jim Connor, who Earl Scruggs called “the greatest living mountain banjo player...perhaps the greatest of all time”. This film focuses on the people of Sand Mountain, Alabama, Jim’s home, as seen through one important element in their lives -- their music. Music in Their Bones aired nationally on PBS as part of the Independent Lens Series.
