Synopsis: ‘Doc’ Crow, a legendary blues man who, at the height of his touring career on the famed Chitlin’ Circuit, vanished without a trace. A trunk of his materials resurfaces in the basement of an abandoned building in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, bringing the question, who is ‘Doc’ Crow? This ‘Doc’ umentary answers that question! This indie film is being called Menace II Society meets Pulp Fiction’s Jules & Vincent. Take a look at a clip from the movie below:
