Distributor Note

Awake, My Soul is the first feature documentary about
Sacred Harp singing, a haunting form of a cappella shape
note hymn singing with deep roots in the American South.
Shape note singing has survived for over 200 years in the
rural Deep South, where singers break open a 160-yearold
hymnal that has preserved these fiercely beautiful
songs. The film offers a glimpse into the lives of this Lost
Tonal Tribe, whose history is a story of rebellion
and tradition.

This special edition includes the original documentary
as seen on American public television as well as
interviews, deleted scenes, and commentary by stars and
filmmakers-over 5 hours of bonus features in all. Has
been featured by TIME, Paste, NPR, XM Satellite Radio,
and many newspapers and magazines.
