AwesomeStories.com Releases the Story Behind the Soloist

AwesomeStories.com today released "The Soloist - Story Behind the Movie," a primary source reference library providing current and historic context for the upcoming film.

Visitors to awesomestories.com/flicks/the-soloist can see pictures and videos of the actual people featured in the film, hear the music which Nathaniel Ayers (played by Jamie Foxx) performs on the streets of LA, watch Steve Lopez (played by Robert Downey, Jr.) describe his relationship with Ayers and take a virtual visit to the skid-row section of Los Angeles where Ayers lived.

Over 80 links strung through ten cohesive, easy-to-read chapters bring visitors directly to primary source materials and allow them to go as deeply as they want into related subject areas. Designed for both casual and academic exploration, the site links primary source material on everything from the place where Nathaniel Ayers was born and studied as a young man to the reasons why music has a calming effect on people who have schizophrenia.

Access to Awesomestories.com is free.
