DOC'N ROLL BOSTON: BLUES RUN THE GAME - JACKSON C. FRANK FILM

DOC'N ROLL FILM FEST PRESENTS - BOSTON PREMIERE - FILMMAKERS & SPECIAL GUEST Q&A

Amidst Soho’s flourishing folk scene of the mid-60s, Jackson C. Frank released a masterpiece album, produced by fellow American expat Paul Simon. Jackson was close to Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel and was a vital musical influence for so many, like Bert Jansch, Nick Drake, Counting Crows, Graham Coxon, John Mayer and Laura Marling. However, after the release of his album, he disappeared without a trace. With physical disabilities and severe PTSD as a result of a childhood tragedy, his mental health deteriorated. While absent, his musical influence greatly increased over the years. That’s when a young music fan decided to seek him out. This film follows in Frank's footsteps to unknot the threads of a unique artist with a dire fate.
