COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Highly Recommended!! submitted by acolbath on August 12, 2017, 3:54pm "Throw Down Your Heart" is a powerful and entertaining film, whether or not you're familiar with Bèla Fleck or the banjo! Bèla and the African instrumentalists/vocalists he spends time with share a passion for music that is clearly reflected through their interactions caught on film. The mutual admiration they have for each other's skill emanates from nearly every scene. See for yourself...!
