This is the heralded story behind Sam Charters

lost film "The Blues" from 1962

shown here now for the first time

and in color

with terrific field recordings and photographs

 by Sam and Ann Charters —

this married duo searched into the heart

of great Americana, through Beat routes

(Ann Charters wrote the first biography of Jack Kerouac

shortly after his death) and Blues roots.
