MUSIC IN EXILE

New Orleans is a town that will always be associated with great music, but sadly it will always be associated with great tragedy as well. Documentary filmmaker Robert Mugge traveled to the storm-devastated city to capture on film the musicians who made the place come alive with their music, as they tried to salvage what once was. Music in Exile is a moving portrait of how the soul of a city can rise above disaster through the rhythm of some of its most talented and famous residents. The program includes the music of Dr. John, Cyrill Neville, Ernie Bo, Irma Thomas, Marcia Ball, Kermit Ruffins, Cowboy Mouth, The Iguanas and more.
