Meeting Charlie Parr is a musical journey through the Midwest that meets one of his most emblematic folk singer. In the Great Lakes forests, through the Minnesota plains, on stage or at home, we get to know Charlie Parr, an endearing and unique artist. Meeting after meeting, Charlie relations tell us about his authentic music and what it says about America.

After a fifteen years old career and ten records released, Meeting Charlie Parr is the first documentary dedicated to that unique songwriter.
