UK SYNOPSIS: Nearly forty years after his death, Cornelis Vreeswijk is still one of the greatest icons in Swedish music. The poor immigrant guy from Holland became widely popular and topped the charts, but did also create scandals with his stormy private life. Some of Us Walk in Raggedy Shoes paints a multi-faceted portrait of an artist who until the end fought to give voice to society's weak and broken. Very likely because, despite his success, he was always one of them.

SVENSK SYNOPSIS: Snart fyrtio år efter sin död är Cornelis Vreeswijk fortfarande en av svensk musiks största ikoner. Den fattige invandrarkillen från Holland blev folkkär och toppade listorna, men skapade också skandaler med sitt stormiga privatliv och hårda festande. Denna dokumentär tecknar ett mångsidigt porträtt av en artist som in i det sista kämpade för att ge röst åt samhällets svaga och trasiga. Kanske för att han, trots sina framgångar, alltid var en av dem.
