Plot:
Woke Up This Mornin 'in the Arkansas Delta is a film that chronicles a filmmaker from Missouri who travels with a crew from north to south in the Arkansas Delta with a fresh pair of eyes and discovers the humor, hardship, music & art that lies along the Mississippi River, largely ignored by the American People. Racism and the Elaine Massacre of 1919 are examined, a filmmaker is shot at, great food is consumed and multilevel generational poverty is examined in a system designed to keep people from working. A fantastic original soundtrack by Paul Sammons and Michael Sutterfield alongside a serendipitous structure make for an amazing kitchen sink film. You will not see anything like this for a long time ..... guaranteed.
