"A wise and nuanced love letter to America's most unique metropolis. For anyone who loves the place, this film will enhance your understanding. For anyone curious about New Orleans, it's a fantastic place to start."
— The Daily Beast
New Orleans occupies a unique place in American history, geography, and culture. Through the confluence of African, European, Indigenous, and Haitian traditions, practices emerged there that would appear nowhere else. One such practice was "funerals with music", more colloquially known as "jazz funerals."
Based on the best-selling book of the same name, City of a Million Dreams offers a comprehensive look at how this distinctively joyous commemoration of life and death came to be, and what it means to a city continually beset by tragedy.
