Margaret Bodde's illustrious career has been marked by a remarkable decade-long collaboration with the esteemed film director Martin Scorsese, during which she has made significant contributions to numerous documentary projects alongside him. One of the most notable projects they worked on together was the critically acclaimed documentary "Nothin' But The Blues" (1996),which aired on PBS and featured the renowned guitarist Eric Clapton. This documentary was a significant milestone in their collaborative efforts, as it received a prestigious Emmy nomination, further solidifying their reputation as a formidable team in the world of documentary filmmaking.
The documentary series, a culmination of the shared enthusiasm and passion of Scorsese and Bodde for delving into the profound and storied history of the blues genre, presented a distinctive and novel perspective on the music by scrutinizing it through the lens of filmmakers who possessed an extraordinary, deeply personal, and emotionally resonant connection to the genre.
