THE CITY STREETS
Music Video for Artist Big Daddy Wilson
Directed by Lauren E. Banks
Synopsis: Rural eastern North Carolina once gave little Noelle and her Father, John, the kind of freedom only country living can provide, but today, it doesn't appear to offer teenage Noelle the kind of excitement that she imagines or has heard about in the latest song. After going missing for years, Noelle makes her way home. Though she doesn't find all of what she was expecting and hoping for, what she does learn is that the prayers her father once spoke were in communion with a spiritual energy that's always protected her, and in that energy is connection, healing and truth.
