This movie accomplishes many things within the premise of "Songcatching". The movie exposes the hardships, ignorances, prejudices, resourcefulness, intelligence, commonsense and heart of the people who remained out of touch with "progress".
The movie has some graphic and controversial scenes; but the majority is appropriate for all ages.
The way the folk music is in-twined in the lives of the local people is magical and authentic. I wish a sound track was available with the full versions of the "collected" songs in the original voices of the actors, in the same simplistic way they were produced for the movie.
This is a movie I have enjoyed on many occasions and look forward to future viewings. I have purchased the DVD.
