See this film: The Connection @ the MFA

Moving, provocative, and with a terrific jazz score, Shirley Clarke's adaptation of Jack Gelber's play The Connection (1961) probes the fine line between fact and fiction. In it, a filmmaker tries to make a documentary about Harlem addicts and jazz musicians as they jam while waiting for the Man.
