Last of the Mississippi Jukes

A Robert Mugge Film

From renowned music filmmaker Robert Mugge, Last of the Mississippi Jukes is a tribute to the Juke joints of Mississippi. From the single-room plantation shacks where the blues was born a hundred years ago-to the handful of urban and rural lounges that are rapidly becoming extinct-The Last of the Mississippi Jukes captures the essence of the Blues and the Juke joint legacy. The movie documents and celebrates the origin of Blues in America and an important part of our musical heritage...one that cannot be forgotten.
