Songcatcher [videorecording] / Rigas Entertainment in association with the Independent Film Channel Productions presents an Ergo Arts production, a film by Maggie Greenwald ; producers, Ellen Rigas Venetis, Richard Miller ; writer & director, Maggie Greenwald.
When musicologist Doctor Lily Penleric is passed over, again, for a prominent teaching position, she decides to leave the city to visit her sister in the rugged mountains of Appalachia. While there, Lily discovers a wellspring of emotional "love songs" (ballads) that have been passed down through generations from the original Irish and Scottish immigrants who have settled in the area. Determined to document the history of the songs, and the recording of them as well, she falls in love with a local musician and is profoundly changed by the generosity, strength, and freedom of the fiercely proud mountain people.
