PLAY


The feature documentary paints a portrait of Rodrigue, the world-renowned Cajun artist who told the story of his exiled ancestors through brush- strokes, overcoming insurmount- able adversity on a journey to become an international pop art sensation with his instantly recognizable, golden-eyed Blue Dog.

A man of his surroundings and culture, a man of his times, a vigorously collected and admired figure, the “Blue Dog” painter has a legacy that endures. George Rodrigue, his story, his artistic contribution, his entire life, are a vivid part of the Louisiana landscape, and continue to be an important part of the art world in America and beyond.
