Product Description: The story of a remarkable African American family from the rural South. With interviews and stories, and scenes from daily life, reunions, gospel concerts, and church services, the film traces the history of the Landis family of Granville County, North Carolina, over the lifetime of its oldest surviving member, 86-year-old Mrs. Bertha M. Landis. Particularly featured are performances by her sons' gospel quartet The Golden Echoes of such songs as "Troubles of the World," "Going Up to Meet Him," and "The Old Rugged Cross," and family and church performances of "Mighty Close to Heaven," "Come and Let's Go to that Land," and "There's Union up in Heaven." Directed by Tom Davenport and produced by Davenport Films and the Curriculum in Folklore at UNC, Chapel Hill with Daniel Patterson and Allen Tullos.
