I recently watched the wonderful 2008 documentary "Throw Down Your Heart" starring American banjo extraordinaire Béla Fleck. In this documentary Béla sets out to explore and experience the African roots of the banjo while making some beautiful music in the process. This is truly one of the most amazingly beautiful documentaries I have ever seen. As an African-American, longtime banjo music lover, and newbie banjo player, I found this film deeply touching and inspirational. If you have any kind of love for music in your heart, do yourself a favor and go see this documentary. Below I have linked a short YouTube clip from the documentary.
