UNITED STATES, England | 120 minutes | 2015

American Epic is three-part series that takes us on a journey across time to the birth of modern music. This story is set in the late 1920s, when record company talent scouts toured America with a recording machine and for the first time captured the raw expression of emerging cultures that led to the development of blues, country, Cajun and folk music. For American Epic Sessions, the filmmakers have re-assembled the machine and replicated the atmosphere of America’s seminal 1920s field recordings down to the smallest detail, with top American artists. Narrated by Robert Redford.

American Epic: The Big Bang – Partie 1 - 110 minutes
American Epic: Out of the Many, the One – Partie 2 - 85 minutes
The American Epic Sessions – Partie 3 - 120 minutes
