The Gospel Truth? (2004)
Directed by Christopher Walker
Documentary · 49m
An investigation of Professor Willie Ruff's claims that gospel music and the tradition of "lining out", is actually rooted in the Gaelic music traditions of the Scottish slave-owners rather than in African culture. Ten Gaelic psalm singers from the Isle of Lewis go to a church in Alabama to sing before a traditional gospel congregation.
