Moon Lightnin’ |
A spiritual four year journey through heartache, abandonment and racial
divide told through the parallel stories of two blues artists. One
seeking to discover what will make him whole again while the other
is desperate to hold onto what he already has.
It has been over 60 years since New York City blues man, Floyd Lee,
left the hill country of Mississippi and with his exodus he turned
his back on a troubled childhood and a harsh life in the cotton fields.
Abandoned by a mother he never knew, Floyd still wrestles with unanswered
questions to his mysterious and painful past. Now at the age of 73,
Floyd and his band embark on a deeply personal journey back home to
Mississippi to reconnect with the family he left behind and search
for the family he never knew. Throughout, guitarist Joel Poluck steers
Floyd’s career towards musical success while his personal life
spins out of control.
