I like this Folkways doc about Ann Savoy and her latest album. It’s her life story- Richmond photographer/ folk singer who moves with her Mom to Europe after her Dad dies young and unexpectedly. Her seeing art and getting into music there and learning French. Then her coming back and discovering Cajun music and culture and getting enamored with Louisiana musician farmer Marc Savoy and they creating a life and family together. She continues to make music and do photography and more the whole time
