Q&A Amber Rubarth and JBFC founder Steve Apkon followed by a performance

In this warm-hearted drama, folk musicians Amber Rubarth and Joe Purdy play Joni and Elliot, a couple of strangers who are thrown together by circumstance in the days after 9/11. Stranded in California, they end up taking a road trip to New York, making music-powered connections with all kinds of strangers along the way. “A heartfelt homage to American folk music” (Hollywood Reporter), this film is also an evocative and moving reminder of the reverberations of 9/11 across the country.
