A recent post on the Telecaster forum pointed me to this 2002 documentary called You See Me Laughin’ about musicians from the North Mississippi Hill Country. Many of these musicians lived very rough lives, from which they’ve created a rich history of music. The documentary covers some of their struggles as well as the music that came from it. The documentary is posted as four parts, which I’ve embedded below.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
Part 4

You should also check out a movie called M for Mississippi, which also touches on the lives of some of these guys.

Thanks for the suggestion, Michael.
