A hundred years ago America's Deep South was home to many blind, black bluesmen scraping a living performing everything from lewd, raw blues to God-fearing spirituals. Gary O'Donoghue, who is blind himself, explores the elements of race and culture that made this phenomenon possible in a programme whose entire production team was blind. First broadcast last October.
