In order to commemorate the contribution of this art form to American culture and even the world music, the United States held various celebrations, and the "Hundred Years of Blues" documentary series led by Martin Scorsese was one of the major events.

In Europe, which has always been more tolerant of documentaries, fans and fans are fortunate to be able to go back to the blues with Scorsese in the cinema. Next, Richard Pierce's "The Road to Memphis" and West Corseth's "The Feeling of Going Home" will be the finale of Eastwood's "Piano Blues". In addition, [Lightning in a Bottle], which is also the executive producer of Sikorses, has met the audience at the Berlin Film Festival in early 214.
"Blues are American and world-wide." Sikorses said, "As a worldwide narrative language, blues brings inspiration to people all over the world, and constantly influences music all over the world. We hope this series will attract
more listeners around the world to pay attention to this kind of music. At the same time, we also hope that children who are fascinated by rock and hip-hop can have a better understanding of the unknown struggles and talented people behind these music. " "We are definitely not trying to define' blues'," he added. "It is our original intention to make personalized and impressionist films through the perspective of the most creative directors with their incomparable enthusiasm for blues."
