Arriving in America as a teenage World War II refugee, Chris Strachwitz was knocked out by the music—the stuff with soul. He devoted his life to collecting and recording in many genres, from klezmer to tamburitza, Cajun to conjunto, but is best known for rediscovering lost blues performers. This entertaining, inspiring documentary follows the man behind the long-running indie label, Arhoolie Records. Strachwitz’s aesthetic: “My stuff isn’t produced. I just catch it as it is.”
