George Nierenberg

During the 1970s and '80s, George Nierenberg was one of the great documentarians of his time with brilliant, loving films of little-known performers who have devoted their lives to their art. NO MAPS ON MY TAPS and ABOUT TAP revitalized the tap dance and SAY AMEN, SOMEBODY made stars of longtime gospel singers. Together, the trilogy represents an enormous cinematic contribution to African-American history and a love letter to these remarkable performers.
