This is an excellent documentary because it seeks the *current* place of Django within the context of Europe's Gypsey often reviled communities.
The interviewer goes to various Django festivals all over the globe to investigate the legacy and effect of Django's performance style and legacy in current jazz ensembles and performances.
He also seeks out the Django Reinhardt family in France - and documents the prejudice Gypsies still suffer.
There are discussions with great European jazz musicians, some who knew Django.
It's an excellent documentary and deserves a place in any serious jazz buff's library.
