The film features performances, archival and contemporary, of Music Maker artists on tour and in the studio, as well as interviews with the artists and Duffy on the foundation, music and the blues.

By the time "It's A Mean Old World" was filmed, Reverend Pearly Brown had been struggling to survive singing gospel music for nearly 40 years. While the rough sound of his bottleneck playing has the feel of a life spent scuffling on the street, the poignancy of his voice is a better measure of the gentle spirit and inner strength of the man.

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

This film is a perfect example of why freedom of expression is not just important, but vital. You could talk yourself blue in the face about what makes groups like the KKK worthless and mindless. Spend hours warning your children to steer clear. But NOTHING can do as much harm as these stupid people proudly proclaiming their mindless beliefs. They number a whopping 5000-8000 in the entire US, many of their 'klans' fighting against each other. Stetson Kennedy's brilliant exposé whittled them down to almost nothing. Now their own words will eventually finish them off. I think this film might help speed that up.

Documentary film-maker Dan Murdoch visits the deep south to visit the chapter of the white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan. As always with these programmes he gets the most stupidest people who are willing to talk to the camera.There is the old man who believes that man was white until one of them mated with an ape and as a curse from God, the black man was created.Then there is the person who hangs a portrait of Adolf Hitler who he believes was one of the smartest people who ever lived. I guess he was smarter than him.Then there is the statement at the beginning of the film when a Klan member states: 'America was founded as a Christian nation and they are attacking our Christian values.' I guess that would be true if the land had not been taken from the native tribes that were there for thousands of years before the white man landed.Murdoch was left dumbfounded when one of the young Klansman said that he believed that Aushwitz was a holiday camp with a swimming pool, a library and a movie theatre and it was basically a factory where Jews made goods for the war. This man is supposed to be one of the bright ones.The Klan members as they have been for decades are expecting a race war to start, kind of forgetting that there was one. It was the civil war and the confederates lost.It would be comical but while Murdoch was filming in South Carolina a white supremacist killed nine black people.Murdoch contrasts the KKK with the militant black power groups who were also counter protesting against the KKK and they were just as pig headed as the white racist groups including telling Murdoch to get lost and not wanting people to march with them who were mixed race or were white sympathisers.There was nothing new in this film. I have seen enough documentaries where the KKK need little help to make themselves look stupid. Murdoch was lucky that he was filming when a flash-point took place with the Charleston massacre.
