Gathr: Music from the Big House
90 min - 2012| Documentary Music
MUSIC
FROM THE BIG HOUSE is an extraordinary story about finding hope, joy
and music behind bars. Rita Chiarelli, Canada’s Queen of the Blues,
takes a pilgrimage to the birthplace of the Blues: Louisiana State
Maximum Security Penitentiary, a.k.a Angola Prison – formerly the
bloodiest prison in America. Rita’s trip turns into an historic
jailhouse performance, playing with – rather than for – musician inmates
serving life sentences. Their shared bond of music, and Chiarelli’s
ebullient personality, draw striking
revelations from the inmates. Rather than sensational stories of
convicts, we witness remarkable voices of hope as their love of music
radiates humanity and redemption on their quest for forgiveness.
What is Gathr?
Gathr is a brand-new service that allows you to bring the movies you want to a venue near you. It's what we like to call TOD (Theatrical on Demand).
Our simple goal is to unite you, the movie lover, with the films you want to see, right in your neighborhood. Movies are meant to be seen in a theater with a crowd and here's how we make that happen: How do Gathr screenings happen?
Gathr screenings can only happen if a minimum number of people reserve tickets before a screening request expires.
On every screening page you'll find an update that shows you the number of current reservations, the number of additional reservations needed to tip the screening, as well as how much time remains before that screening request expires.
