ROOTS OF FIRE is a story about musicians pushing the boundaries of a type of American roots music known as Cajun Music. Amidst shuttered rural dance clubs and encroaching globalization, five award-winning musicians in Louisiana push against stereotypes of the American South and move the music of their ancestors forward. But their fans are getting older and the language is fading away. Will their efforts be enough to save a dying community?
