Synopsis

Louis Armstrong, known affectionately as "Satchmo," overcame poverty, racism, and personal hardships to become one of the most influential musicians of the 20th century. Born into a segregated New Orleans in the early 1900s, young Louis finds solace in music, discovering a passion for the trumpet that would change the course of his life. "Satchmo: The Louis Armstrong Story" delves into the vibrant jazz scene of New Orleans, where Armstrong's talent blossoms and he forms lifelong friendships with fellow musicians. His journey takes him to Chicago, where he joins the innovative Hot Five and Hot Seven bands, revolutionizing jazz with his innovative improvisations and scat singing. The film explores Armstrong's rise to fame, his struggles against racism, and his unyielding commitment to breaking down racial barriers through the universal language of music. We witness his collaborations with jazz greats like Duke Ellington, Ella Fitzgerald, and Billie Holiday, and his transformation into an international jazz ambassador.
