This was such a touching episode. Thank you for sharing with the world the human side of this world, and letting all know that there is hope and life is beautiful. Thank you Dule, thank you PBS.
I’m French Tunisian but even though I’m very close to my Tunisian family I don’t speak Arabic, so a big part of my own culture is out of grasp for me. However I speak English, and was exposed to bluegrass as a teenager, fell in love with the sound of the mandolin, and today I have an old time music band, use the dulcimer as a songwriting instrument and have a banjo waiting for me to start learning clawhammer. This music felt like a way to get intimate with a culture and to form a community the way I couldn’t do it with Tunisian music and culture (although now I’m trying to do something about that too). I’m so grateful for Americana, for the artists that carry this beautiful mixed heritage and for the voices that allow us to acknowledge how rich and diverse it is.
The artist’s task is to save the soul of mankind; and anything less is a dithering while Rome burns. Because of the artists, who are self-selected, for being able to journey into the Other, if the artists cannot find the way, then the way cannot be found.~ Terence McKenna
Who knew I would watch this and cry? This hit on somethings that I'm facing with my young adult and it's so encouraging to see that there is hope.
I cried so much… I’m PMSsing, but still.
