Harmonica breakdown
Description
Part documentary, part dance performance, this film was inspired by the music of Blues harmonica player Sonny Terry. His Harmonica Breakdown , as choreographed by Jane Dudley, is a timeless statement of the hardship and courage of ordinary people. Harmonica Breakdown is deeply rooted in its social and historical context, which is vividly depicted by Dorothea Lange's black and white photographs of the sharecroppers in the deep south during the Depression.
