Open Country is a new feature-length documentary film that “takes back country.” This is a fund-raiser to purchase a memorial stone for Aunt Molly Jackson, a local country/folk legend who is buried in an unmarked grave in Sacramento. The film also includes footage and interviews with several Sacramento Valley musicians.

Open Country is a journey into the roots of American Country music, reclaiming it as the creative musical expression of working people of all colors. Through archival clips, contemporary interviews, performances, and animated graphics, Open Country repositions country music into its rightful place as a people’s music. This film features interviews with Billy Bragg, Mat Callahan, Keith Cary, Davey D, Ryan Davidson, Hazel Dickens, Hilary Dirlam, Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz, Bairbre Flood, Archie Green, Gerald Haslam, Toshio Hirano, Roger Knox, Jon Langford, Hannah Mayree, Morgan McDow, George Metesky, Yvonne Moore, Utah Phillips and Pete Seeger.
