How Sweet the Sound: The Blind Boys of Alabama @ SLIFF
How Sweet the Sound: The Blind Boys of Alabama
Leslie McCleave, U.S., 2015, 89 min.
Sunday, Nov. 15, 4 p.m., KDHX
Filmed over the course of 10 years, "How Sweet the Sound" is an intimate portrait of the multi-Grammy-winning Blind Boys of Alabama, who met as children in the 1930s at a state-run segregated vocational school. With the core performers first singing together in 1944, the Blind Boys became one of the last great gospel quartets to traverse the famed "gospel highway." Eventually breaking through the color barrier and achieving mainstream success with secular audiences worldwide, the Blind Boys have now been uplifting listeners for seven decades. As the surviving band members recount their unlikely success story, the film provides a rare, frank view of life on and off the road with these renowned performers, now in their 70s and 80s. With director McCleave.
Shown with Thrive (Paul Szynol, U.S., 2015, 14 min.): Blind since birth, a 12-year-old piano player auditions for the prestigious Manhattan School of Music.
Sponsored by Nancy & Ken Kranzberg
