CCA Amplified: City of a Million Dreams

In the next installment of CCA & Lost Padre Records’ music + film series, CCA Amplified, we’re proud to present a one-time special screening of City of a Million Dreams, a powerful documentary on how New Orleans jazz funerals and Sunday second line parades absorb the pain of death and the legacy of racism, soaring to the transcendent joy of rebirth. A 20-year endeavor for director Jason Berry, the film follows clarinetist Dr. Michael White and culture carrier Deb “Big Red” Cotton in a search for the city’s soul.

The film includes a live, in-person Q&A with musician Dr. Michael White, the film’s director, Jason Berry, and CCA Head of Cinema Programming, Luke Henley. Read more about the speakers here.
