Alan Lomax devoted his life to recording folk tunes before they disappeared with the rise of modern music. The film LOMAX THE SONGHUNTER follows Lomax's route across America and beyond, visiting remote villages in Spain and Italy to hear memories and music from farmers, shepherds, and weavers he recorded decades earlier. The film also tells Lomax's story through interviews with friends, archival recordings, and footage of the places where he captured America's quintessential music.
