Video: 10/ Audio: 0 = 5
The entire film is comprised of 1927 flood footage (some of it very compelling) set to the lackluster easy listening music of Bill Frisell, which gets old very quickly. I dare you not to hit the mute button after 20 minutes. With the exception of a few quick graphics, there is are no explanations, no narration, no story. If I have to sit through a music-only film about the 1927 flood, I'd have rather listened to the actual artists and great blues-men that migrated north in the aftermath of the disaster and made their mark on American music forever. What an unsatisfying waste of great archival footage and grant money!
