"Throw Down Your Heart" follows American banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck on his journey to Africa to explore the little known African roots of the banjo and record an album. Béla'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, Béla transcends barriers of language and culture, finding common ground and forging connections with musicians from very different backgrounds.
World Premiering at the 2008 SXSW Film Festival

I just finished watching this heart warming movie. Do yourself a favor and buy the CD. I really hate the negative youtube chatter about how can a white man tell our African history of the banjo. Most African Americans and some Africans didn't even know that the modern banjo came from Africa originally. This documentary truly does justice to the history and the people where it possibly originated. I only wish he ventured in North Africa were the play the modern banjo like a guitar.
