Robert Johnson is one of the most mysterious figures in blues history.
Born in Mississippi in 1911, his life was short, troubled, and surrounded by legend.
Growing up in poverty, Robert Johnson wandered across the Mississippi Delta, learning blues from older musicians. His sudden transformation into an extraordinary guitarist gave rise to the famous crossroads myth — a story that would follow his name forever.
Despite recording only a small number of songs, Robert Johnson’s music shaped the foundation of modern blues. His recordings influenced generations of musicians long after his death in 1938 at the age of 27.
This documentary explores the life, myths, and legacy of Robert Johnson — the man who became a legend before the world truly knew him.
