This ambitious documentary by St. Louis-based filmmaker Matthew Rice analyzes how an ex-slave became one of America's greatest tall-tale heroes: John Henry. Based on Scott Reynolds Nelson's book "Steel Drivin' Man," the film provides a fresh perspective on the song and folk tale by exploring a myriad of related subjects, including the convict-lease program, an unjust legal system developed after the Civil War as a replacement for slavery.
