FEATURE DOCUMENTARY

"By and By" tells the story of a fading tradition, a torn community, and a family bound to keep them both alive. At the center of the film is a powerful New Orleans gospel quartet, the Electrifying Crown Seekers, a group USA Today calls "the essence of Jazz Fest ... more explosive than any rock headliner."

Set against a backdrop of post-Katrina New Orleans, "By and By" is a classic family story of change vs. tradition, young vs. old, focused on a son's unavoidable conflict: to continue the 46 year musical legacy of his father, or to strike out on his own. Powered by raw gospel music and a cast of unforgettable characters, the story of "By and By" is truly timeless.
