This in-depth, feature length documentary explores the controversial life of composer Ralph Vaughan Williams. Often dismissed as a happy folk hero, Williams was in fact often frustrated and unhappy with both his small town life and his obligations to care for his invalid wife. Exploring both his musical and personal legacy, the film paints a multidimensional portrait of the artist. ~ Cammila Collar, Rovi

By all accounts an ardent enthusiast of folk music, iconoclastic and controversial English director Ken Russell (Lisztomania, The Rainbow) headlines the documentary In Search of the English Folk Song. In this program, Russell undertakes a long journey from New Forest, Hampshire, to Cropredy for the Fairport Convention and then to Glastonbury - a journey in which the filmmaker both investigates the roots of British folk music and attempts to carefully separate that tradition from the Gaelic styles so often intertwined with it. As an added bonus, this program features performances by such musicians as Donovan, Bob Appleyard, Eliza Carthy and Fairport Convention. ~ Nathan Southern, Rovi
