Valerie Turner of Piedmont Bluz sent out an email today announcing the release of a 60-minute Mississippi John Hurt documentary that's been in the works for many years. For those interested, it can be viewed for $10 at the following link and parts of the proceeds go to the Mississippi John Hurt Foundation (which recently suffered from a catastrophic fire of their museum, but that's another story...)
Writeup from the page: A Man Called Hurt chronicles the life and influence of Mississippi John Hurt on the music world. Featuring interviews from Mary Frances Hurt, John Sebastian of The Loving Spoonful, Happy Traum, Guy Davis, Dom Flemons, and others, our hope with this film is not only to educate the world about the impact of this fascinating man, but also to raise money for the Mississippi John Hurt Foundation.
