The Mississippi Delta has been called "the most southern place on earth". This fertile expanse of flat land sprawls along the Mississippi River from Memphis, Tennessee, southward to Vicksburg, Mississippi. Culturally rich as well, the Delta is the land where the blues began. New Delta Rising is an exploration of Mississippi Delta life and a celebration of the indefatigable Delta people who live there.
