The Song of Hiawatha is a documentary film about the American counterculture (1965-present) as lived by Hiawatha Bailey, a gay African-American and Native-American musician and activist who was a pioneering black hippie and black punk rocker ignored in most accounts of the period.
It’s a big story about America that begins in the "Jim Crow" South and moves to Detroit in the 1950s to see "Motown" in its glory. The story is set amid race riots, Black Panthers, White Panthers, The MC5 and The Stooges, FBI surveillance, a Supreme Court case, a four-year prison stint, punk rockers, metal kids, jazz and blues musicians, and a troupe of performing transsexuals of color.
