MORE THAN A FILM
GERMAN SOUL IS A LIVE DOC EXPERIENCE WITH MUSIC, FOOD AND ALL YOUR ANCESTORS.
GERMAN SOUL
A LIVE DOCUMENTARY EXPERIENCE with JUSTIN ROBINSON
Potato salad, mac and cheese, crunchy coleslaw paired with pork barbecue—is Southern food mostly German food? Justin Robinson, a Grammy Award-winning musician and intensely curious Black ethnobotanist takes audiences on an immersive culinary journey through conflicting ideas of history, genealogy, health, and the violent legacies of this comfort cuisine.
This hybrid doc experience aims to connect Southern audiences with multifaceted, shared histories through the lens of food, particularly at a moment when uncomfortable histories are facing erasure out of fear for the power they hold. We believe live performance spaces offer transcendence and connections far beyond one-way streaming—your presence becomes part of the story.
