Against the backdrop of racial discord in the city, Adam Gussow, a young white Jewish harmonica player, and Sterling \"Mr. Satan\" Magee, an older black Mississippi bluesman, joined forces to blaze a new musical trail. Bi-racial blues. Po-mo blues. Whatever you want to call it, it changed their lives forever and contested longstanding notions of cultural appropriation. Shot over 30 years, Satan \u0026amp; Adam showcases a miraculous journey of friendship, heartbreak and the transformative power of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn 1986, when harmonica player Adam Gussow asked if he could jam with one-man band Sterling \"Mr. Satan\" Magee it was the beginning of an unforgettable collaboration - dubbed Satan and Adam. Amidst the racial tension in New York City, this Jewish Ivy League graduate and black Mississippi blues man made an unlikely pair, but their musical stylings perfectly aligned. After a chance encounter with members of U2 and a celebrated debut record, the duo rose to international acclaim from their Harlem street corner. But as quickly as they were discovered, their meteoric rise was cut short when Mr. Satan mysteriously disappeared. The result is an odyssey 23 years in the making that captures a miraculous journey of friendship, heartbreak and the transformative power of music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTribeca Film Festival Official Selection, 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmerican Film Festival - Won, Audience Award Documentary Feature, 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarbados Independent Film Festival - Won, Best of Festival, 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNashville Film Festival - Won, Grand Jury Prize, 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOjai Film Festival - Won, Best Documentary Feature, 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTelluride Mountainfilm Festival - Won, Youth Jury Inspirational Award, 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBendFilm Festival - Nominated, Best Documentary Feature, 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeartland Film Festival - Nominated, Grand Prize Documentary Feature, 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePort Townsend Film Festival - Special Jury Commendation Documentary Feature, 2018\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Lindsey UNA Film Festival - Won, Best of Show, 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmericana Film Fest - Nominated, Audience Award, 2019\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e      \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou can easily imagine some Hollywood executive eyeing up the tale for a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca class=\"css-bhdv0x-linkClass\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/02\/25\/movies\/oscars-critics-green-book.html\" title=\"Critics discuss 'Green Book'\"\u003etreacly feature film\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e of interracial understanding.
