“THE WHOLE GRITTY CITY”

ONE BAND, ONE MARDI GRAS AND A GROUP OF CHILDREN

STRUGGLING TO STAY ALIVE

SYNOPSIS:

“The Whole Gritty City” is a story about survival – about kids and a group of musical mentors who are waging a war against the violent legacy of the streets. The story centers on one very special New Orleans band over the course of two years. 11-year-old Bear, 12-year-old Jazz, and identical twins Dariun and Darius, along with the band’s founder Derrick Tabb are the soldiers waging this war. Their weapons: the musical instruments these kids are just learning to play. In New Orleans, the birthplace of Jazz and America’s murder capital - the stakes are life and death.
