Stick around after the film for a special Q&A with cast and crew!
This program has been geolocated to the state of Maryland, Washington DC, and the "DC-Metro" area, and includes only these Virginia cities: Alexandria, Arlington, Crystal City, Falls Church, Fairfax, and McClean. If you are outside of any of these areas, you will be unable to view this program.
Black arts matter is the pulsating melody in this beautiful story about the River City Drum Corps founded by “Nardie” White and his late wife, Zambia Nkrumah. They inspired African-American youth in their Louisville, KY neighborhood by connecting them with the culture of their African ancestors. White passes the torch to new leadership under Albert Shumake, a young artist whose troubled life was transformed by his musical drumline experience. Glorious, rhythmic drum battles enliven this thoughtful doc about what it means to make a difference and the lasting impact of art, love, and community.
