"Before the legend, before the man, there was Django Reinhardt the child. In order to grow from a banjo prodigy living in the Romani 'Zone' outside Paris into the master of Gypsy Jazz guitar who would go on to play with Duke Ellington, Django would first have to endure the agonizing event that would change his life: the fire that burned his hand and almost destroyed his future. Django, Hand on Fire is the story of those mythical childhood and adolescent years; a portrait of the world of the Roma in France at the beginning of the Twentieth Century; and an inspiring tale of overcoming adversity, of family solidarity, and of love for music.".
