A documentary that examines the cultural stereotype of the people of Appalachia and how that has affected America's relationship with its rural communities.

In a dusty art studio tucked away in San Francisco's Tenderloin district, artist Charles Curtis Blackwell pores over works of beauty and remarkable spirit. A Different Color Blue explores the redemptive power of art, an ability to find hope in the most unlikely of places, and the courage of an artist who refuses to turn away from the thing he loves most.
