UK Desk for Arts Express 6-26-24: Interview with filmmakers Glenda and Jesse Drew about 'Open Country'

Enlightening interview I had with filmmakers and UC Davis professors Jesse and Glenda Drew, where we delved into their compelling documentary, 'Open Country,' currently making waves across the US. This film brilliantly uncovers the transatlantic influences and rich multicultural contributions that have shaped country music. As a Brit with a deep appreciation for genuine storytelling, I was utterly amazed by how it challenges the sanitized, corporate version of country music we've been fed. It's an eye-opening journey that reminds us of the true spirit of the people's music, rooted in struggle, solidarity, and resistance
