Atlanta & Dahlonega

Griff Rhys Jones visits Georgia, exploring the legacy of the racial and political histories that have shaped Atlanta, a city that sought to redefine itself after the Civil War, and in the 20th century, was the setting for Martin Luther King Jr's civil rights campaigns and Muhammad Ali's 1970 comeback fight. Griff then continues his journey up into the Appalachian Mountains, meeting and performing with pioneers of Bluegrass music.
