[VIDEO DESCRIPTION: An authentic portrayal of the Nashville music scene with a compelling love story between two struggling songwriters from a gritty neighborhood in East Nashville. It’s also a story about complex and often tumultuous family relationships… between two brothers who grew up in the foster system willing to take dangerous risks to catch a break with their music; as well as a drug addicted mother who roadblocks her gifted daughter as she pursues her dream of hearing her songs on the radio one day. Music City is a love letter to the American Dream that, like a well crafted country song, reaches to the unique specific aching of every heart. Filmed and edited by .]
