Weekend Movie Forecast: The Soloist Vs. Tyson

The documentary Throw Down Your Heart covers the African pilgrimage of the American banjo virtuoso Béla Fleck as he searches for the origins of his chosen instrument. The Times's Stephen Holden calls it "gentle, upbeat... In Mali he meets and plays with the great guitarist Djelimady Tounkara and the diva Oumou Sangare, a national idol and phenomenally gifted composer and singer. When Ms. Sangare sings a heartbreaking lament of 'a worried songbird' searching for her father, you don’t need to know the language to be gripped by the force of her cry."
