Leadbelly (1976)
Un film sur la vie de Huddie "Leadbelly" Ledbetter (1888-1949), un génie musical, mais aussi un meurtrier, qui a passé une bonne partie de sa vie aux travaux forcés. Autodidacte, il est devenu un maître de la guitare à 12 cordes en plus d'être un excellent chanteur. Il a laissé aussi un paquet de compositions qui ont influencé le Blues, le Folk et même la musique Pop.
Directeur: Gordon Parks
