RUMBLE: THE INDIANS WHO ROCKED THE WORLD is a film about rhythm and voice, a film about origins and fusion and a film about the heart and soul of music. Catherine Bainbridge explores the Native American influence as an integral part of music history, despite attempts to ban and censor Indian culture in the United States. The lives of iconic Native musicians such as Charley Patton, Mildred Bailey, Jimi Hendrix, and Buffy Sainte-Marie are told by other legends of American music who were inspired by them: from Quincy Jones to Tony Bennett and Iggy Pop to Steven Tyler. One story always comes back: the passion for music.
