- The life and career of wildly controversial rock 'n' roll star Jerry Lee Lewis.
- Documentary tracing the history of Storyville, the notorious--and legal--red-light district of New Orleans, Louisiana, that thrived from 1897 to 1917. Established in 1897 by the city to control prostitution (and named for the local politician who first drew up the plans and regulations for it), it became almost a source of pride for locals. It was shut down at the beginning of World War I when the US Army decreed that no prostitution would be allowed within five miles of an army base, and Storyville was within that distance.
- Blues legends B. B. King, Rufus Thomas, and many friends play jam sessions and tell stories about Beale Street's heyday; revealing the love and respect musicians had, and still have for each other.
- Mississippi in the early 1970s. Fannie Bell Chapman and her daughters singing and praying during church services and at home, a healing service at the Chapman home, and "speaking in tongues" after healing.
- Depicts black churches, rural church services and a full immersion baptism in the Mississippi Delta 1968. The audio is only roughly in sync with the picture, but this makes the film even more powerful and authentic.
- A compelling and award-winning portrait of Othar Turner, his music and their role in the Gravel Springs community. The film not only demonstrates how to make a cane fife, but also gets to the heart of both Turner and his fife and drum music as he's shown performing at an annual Fourth of July picnic. Quick cuts between dancing band members and the rhythmic movements of Turner's family going about their daily chores capture the mounting excitement and provide a rare, revealing glimpse of the work and play that characterize this traditional rural Mississippi society.
