This film, by first-time filmmaker and full-time sociologist Elif Alp, explores answers to these questions in a space dedicated to preserving folk music, The Fabulous Jalopy Theater and School of Music, in Brooklyn, NY. A safe haven for inspiration and creation, the venue provides an oasis for the musical misfits mainstream spaces repel. It's these very misfits who safeguard a tradition of sound, interchange, and shared learning that is otherwise lost in dusty record bins. Without this community anchor, folk music today would be short of one more important home. Written by
