Dirs.: Sam Douglas and Paul Lovelace
Carnivalesque Films
From their origins in New York's
Greenwich Village folk scene and their
involvement in the Easy Rider
soundtrack, to the lost years of constant drugging, endless touring and a final
shot at redemption, The Holy Modal
Rounders... Bound To Lose recounts the unique 44-year history of these true
American originals. With startling intimacy, the film also documents the band's
arduous, amusing, and sometimes heartbreaking struggle to capitalize on their
recent resurgence in popularity, culminating in an unpredictable 40th
anniversary concert in Portland,
Oregon.
