It's a Rockabilly World! (2016)
Two things bothered me
I hate seeing two things associated with rockabilly - misogyny and racism.
Both are addressed but not forcefully enough.
There was no real refutation of the misogyny expressed by a couple of the subjects.
The confederate flag issue - I would have like to see one white dude out and out state the truth - it's absolutely a symbol that of racism and has no place in the rockabilly scene. Ideally directly to one of the racists who defended the flag.
The ambiguity of these issues in the film make it hard for me to recommend it to friends. I wouldn't want anybody to think I'm ok with these views.
Otherwise I really, really enjoyed this deep dive into the scene.
