Blank (Burden of Dreams) and Strachwitz’s joyful documentary is the seminal film of the history of the foot-stomping, toe-tapping music of French Southwest Louisiana, featuring interviews with and performances from an amazing roster of Cajun and Zydeco greats: Michael Doucet, BeauSoleil, Clifton Chenier, Queen Ida, Marc and Ann Savoy, D.L. Menard and many more. Newly restored and remastered, this essential chronicle of a unique American subculture looks and sounds better than ever.
