About the Film: River City Drumbeat (Documentary, 94 minutes) is a multigenerational story of music, love, and legacies set in the American South. Edward "Nardie" White has devoted his life to leading the African-American drum corps he cofounded with Zambia Nkrumah in Louisville, Kentucky three decades ago. Together they inspired many youths from their West Louisville neighborhood to thrive by connecting them with art and the cultural traditions of their ancestors. Now Albert Shumake, whose destiny was shaped by the drumline, must take up the mantle for the next generation. Meanwhile, student drummers Imani, Jailen and Emily navigate adolescence and life changes as the movie follows this creative community of mentors, parents, and youth making their way in a world where systemic forces raise barriers to the fulfillment of their dreams.
