Little Satchmo

23rd TDF: World Premiere

If every celebrity has one single face for the plenty and several faces for the few, the private life of the legendary Louis Armstrong included a secret face: he was father to a daughter he loved with all his heart, but never recognized. Today, fifty years from the death of this musical genius, a daughter sworn to a life of secrecy breaks her silence, co-writing the script of this surprising, engaging documentary.
