MIXTAPE TRILOGY explores one of the most intense and unique relationships between people who rarely meet: music artists and their fans. Folk rock icons Indigo Girls openly share their journey, which has powerfully influenced the life of their biggest fan. Composer and pianist Vijay Iyer examines issues of immigration and race through his music; his work touches the heart of Garnette, a "man of the streets" from Kingston, Jamaica. Rapper and activist Talib Kweli inspires and transforms the life of Mike, a "Hip Hop" architect from Detroit. The director unpacks the music and the audience is invited to fall into it. The art of listening unfolds and inspires us to listen to music, and, perhaps, each other, in new ways.

Glenn Kenny New York Times It’s a mixed bag, alternating conventional homily with genuine, substantial analysis. Feb 7, 2023 Full Review Carla Hay Culture Mix This occasionally uneven documentary mostly achieves what it intended in its title. The first third of the movie is upbeat but predictable. The second third is boring and forgettable. The last third is the most dynamic and informative section of the film. Mar 5, 2023 Full Review Andrew Stover Film Threat All three artists aim to reach an audience equally as dedicated to engendering change. Through the interlacing of perspectives, Ermitage unearths the everlasting influence of music and why listener and artist should forever cherish that influence alike.
