Bruce helps score new Documentary
Bruce recently composed and performed music that contributes to the Terence Blanchard-penned score for the new Spike Lee documentary, "If God is Willing and Da Creek Don't Rise".
"Five years after Hurricane Katrina, director Spike Lee returns to New Orleans to see how the ambitious plans to reinvent the Crescent City are playing out in the all-new, four-hour documentary IF GOD IS WILLING AND DA CREEK DON'T RISE. He finds a patchwork of hope and heartache in a story that is book-ended by a pair of momentous events - the historic 2010 Super Bowl victory and the disastrous British Petroleum oil spill - that changed the history of America's most unique city once again. The film debuts in two parts on MONDAY, AUG. 23 (9:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT) and TUESDAY, AUG. 24 (9:00-11:00 p.m.), exclusively on HBO."
