- Summary:
- This film chronicles generations of African American mentors in Louisville, Kentucky's West End neighborhood and their work to empower children and teens through creative expression. For three decades, Edward "Nardie" White has been teaching ancestral Pan-African culture and drumming traditions in the River City Drum Corps in order to instill a foundation of purposeful resilience within his neighborhood youth. Against the backdrop of the American South, Mr. White's drumline and its multi-generational network of support has been a lifeline for many young African Americans. Now in his sixties, he must step down to allow the drum corps to evolve with a new generation.
