Jack White will be working with T Bone Burnett and Robert Redford to produce the upcoming music documentary American Epic.
Rolling Stone reported that the project will focus on the history of music and will be produced in a three-part documentary series. Along with the documentary, a full-length film and companion album will be created and released.
The documentary will tell the story of an early recording device that was used by many record companies back in the 1920s. This was described as "The first time captured the raw expression of an emerging culture."
The film sets out to tell the story of that unnamed machine as it goes across the United States. The film wants to explore and discover the musicians that led to its development s well.
The project will be directed by Bernard MacMahon and will air on both PBS and BBC this upcoming fall, AV Club reported.
