This video tells the story of Stephen Foster, whose immortal words are sung every day in America. The author of such American classics as "Way Down Upon the Swanee River," "Old Black Joe," and "O! Susanna!" lived a tumultuous life. This video chronicles his life, with diaries, archival photographs, and re-enactments. The documentary pays tribute to the man who brightened the hearts of America with song. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, Rovi
