Hard Pressed, But Never Crushed is a film about the musical journey and story of a man named Horace Trahan, master Cajun and Zydeco musician, who has lived a life full of twists and turns. Horace began playing old-style , traditional Cajun music on a diatonic accordion and later, after a spiritual awakening, moved to playing Zydeco and Reggae and preaching his message through song. This message, in a nutshell, is about having a good time and being kind to your neighbor, and not worrying about what everyone is saying about you. "It ain't what goes in your mouth that defiles... it's what comes out."
