German Soul: A Live Documentary Experience at The Modern

Presented by the Fort Worth African American Roots Music Festival

GERMAN SOUL is a live documentary experience featuring film, live music, and narration that radically re-examines the origins of Southern food and Black identity. Driven by a lifelong "sensitive stomach" and a nagging family mystery, Grammy-winning musician and ethnobotanist Justin Robinson embarks on a personal quest for culinary truth. From the Carolinas to West Africa and Europe, Justin seeks the true genealogy of his family recipes, transforming the history of food into a path for reconnection with his ancestors and his body.

Sunday, March 22nd, 2:00 PM
