The Whole Gritty City (2013)
Full of hope, strength, honesty, heartbreak and plenty of music.
12 July 2014 - 4 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
A wonderful showcase for the discipline and talent of the young musicians and a battle cry to mentors of all kinds. The band leaders, including Derrick Tabb of the 2012 Grammy winning Rebirth Brass Band, serve as inspirations to us all.
There are many stories of the city of New Orleans and the effects of Katrina but precious few about the many challenges facing the city's resilient children. I defy you not to fall in love with Jazz, Bear, Scully, Brandon, Kirk and the many other young musicians. It's not always easy to watch this movie, but it's always worth it. I laughed, I cried and I loved the music.
