Cajun Legend Nathan Abshire 1975
‘This clip comes from TVTV, a collective of “video freaks” who pioneered independent video journalism. In 1972, they used portable videotape to cover the Democratic and Republican National Conventions outside corporate control. including Wendy Appel, Paul Goldsmith, Petur Hliddal, Robby Kenner, Hudson Marquez, David Myers, Allen Rucker, and Suzanne Tedesko, went down to Louisiana to make a very different kind of tape--a warm and enjoyable documentary about Cajun life and culture, focusing to a large extent on the music of "Mr. Accordion" Nathan Abshire’
