Bela Fleck's boundary-breaking musical adventure takes him to Uganda, Tanzania, The Gambia, and Mali, and provides a glimpse of the beauty and complexity of Africa. Using his banjo Bela transcends barriers of language-the musicians literally converse through song, speaking notes instead of words- and culture, finding common ground and forging connections with musicians from very different backgrounds.
Throw Down Your Heart was the Audience Award winner at the SXSW and Vancouver Film Festivals and the Music Documentary Award winner at SilverDocs.
