Martin Scorsese's "The Blues" Film Series Preview

Series begins September 28th on PBS.


We are excited to offer this preview of excerpts from the film series The Blues. Executive produced by Martin Scorsese, this seven-part series features celebrated directors exploring the blues through their own personal styles and perspectives. The films are motivated by a central theme: how the blues evolved from parochial folk tunes to a universal language.

For more information on the series, including descriptions of specific films, please visit The Blues online at www.PBS.org.
