From 1898 until World War I, New Orleans' fabled red-light district blazed with over 16 square blocks of lights, music and prostitutes. This revealing documentary explores how the neighborhood's many bars, clubs and brothels helped give birth to jazz and was home to such artists as musicians Buddy Bolden and Jelly Roll Morton, photographer E.J. Bellocq and others. 60 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English Dolby Digital stereo.
