The Pan Man: Russell Henderson

The Pan Man tells the story of Trinidadian-born Russ Henderson, an accomplished jazz pianist, pioneer of the Notting Hill Carnival and leading light in the world of steel pan in the United Kingdom. The film recounts Henderson’s long road to fame, from struggling musician in the 1950s fighting racism and poverty, to receiving recognition in the form of an MBE from the Prince of Wales for long-standing services to the music industry.
