Canadian Film: Music From the Big House July 24, 2012

In MUSIC FROM THE BIG HOUSE, Rita Chiarelli, Canada’s Goddess of the Blues, takes a pilgrimage
to the birthplace of the Blues: Louisiana State Maximum Security Penitentiary, a.k.a Angola Prison -
formerly the bloodiest prison in America. Rita’s trip turns into an unprecedented historic jailhouse
performance, playing with – rather than for – musician inmates serving life sentences. Their shared
bond of music, and Chiarelli’s ebullient personality, draw striking revelations from the inmates.
Rather than sensational stories of convicts, we witness remarkable voices of hope as their love of
music radiates humanity and redemption on their quest for forgiveness.
