In The Making :: Generations Of Go-Go - A Film by K. Dene Mitchell

Just found this amazing 8 minute trailer for a documentary that is still in the making about Washington, DC's Go-Go music culture. For forty years, the sound of the DMV has been go-go music. Now filmmaker K. Dene Mitchell and writer Deidre Gantt have set out to uncover the love affair Washingtonians have with the go-go. How does go-go mirror our identity as DC residents, youth and adults? How have the musicians, business people, and the fans kept the culture alive all these years? How is go-go changing and being preserved from generation to generation? What is the future of go-go music, especially in a changing city? These are all questions that Generations Of Go-Go will seek to answer in the hour long documentary. We'll be keeping an eye out for the arrival of the finished project.
