Famed Romani jazz guitarist, Django Reinhardt is on a national tour in America with the Duke Ellington orchestra in November, 1946-Feruary 1947. We hear him play some of his most iconic tunes as we witness him combat racism during the tour and in flashbacks to his youth and life in Paris. We see his struggles with Nazi suppression during WWII and see the caravan fire that damaged and disfigured his left hand. Finally we jump ahead to his death and to the enduring legacy of his musical genius.
