Description

ROLL BUS ROLL casts an eye at the life and art of Jeffrey Lewis, one of the most prominent musicians associated with NYC's anti-folk scene.

Offering a glimpse into the unique movement of anti-folk, a music genre that challenges traditional folk conventions, the documentary follows Jeffrey on tour, across cities and continents. A self-deprecating genius, Jeffery's life and work are introduced through contrasting narratives: his own modest self-assessment, and the views of fans and fellow artists such as Adam Green. The film reaches its emotional climax as Jeffrey opens up about a lost love, revealing his mental health struggles that impacted his relationship.
