A quiet, immersive portrait of daily life and music, slow and gentle, with a deep sense of place and passing time.

Directed by
Jeff Silva, Vic Rawlings
Genres
Documentary
Starring
Lee Sexton, Opal Sexton
Overview
Lee and Opal Sexton live in the mountains of Eastern Kentucky, farming the land where Lee was raised. Lee is a retired coal miner and revered banjo legend, a living link to the deep past of American music. Though now well into his eighties and hampered by age, Lee continues to perform and teach his distinctive 2-finger banjo style to a new generation eager to preserve a vanishing cultural tradition. Linefork offers an immersive view of Lee and Opal's daily rituals and inherent resilience while documenting the raw yet delicate music of a singular musician, linked to the past yet immediately present.
