Quotes:

"It's quite an accomplishment, and you've clearly found a ripe subject and some thoughtful people to talk about it. The mood of the film puts you right there in one of those churches - you can practically smell it."

- Peter Miller
Director, "Sacco and Vanzetti" (2006) "The Internationale" (2000), Co-Producer, "Ken Burns's Jazz"


"From the stirring open to the tear-inducing close, an outstanding work. I can tell that a lot of heart went into creating this film. 'Awake, My Soul' is what documentary filmmaking is all about. People are going to be watching this for decades to come."

-Will Payne
Emmy-winning Producer & Writer
Turner Broadcasting System

"'Awake, My Soul' is a must-see for anyone who loves -- or wants to understand -- Sacred Harp! The deft weaving together of so many strands of story, of testimony, of old photographs, of roving camera, of stirring music, makes for a very compelling hour and a quarter. I found it mesmerizing..."

-Buell Cobb
Sacred Harp historian, author of "The Sacred Harp: A Tradition and Its Music."



"It is FANTASTIC! I was fascinated by "Awake, My Soul." It's a beautifully shot, deeply moving film."

-Amy Linton
Academy Award winning editor, "The Internationale," "Sacco & Venzetti," "The Adventures of Ociee Nash"
