i just saw 'soundtrack for a revolution' by bill guttentag, dan sturman executive produced by danny glover at the vancouver international film festival. this is one of the most amazing documentaries that i have seen to date.
it tells the story of the civil rights movement in the u.s + how important the freedom songs where as people fought for justice, equality + freedom. the use of archival footage as the backdrop coupled with interviews from 'civil rights foot soldiers' + leaders was raw, ugly, heart wrenching, beautiful + funny at times. it reiterated that there is no excuse for this type of injustice.
artists like the roots, wyclef jean, joss stone + john legend re-created the freedom song which evolved from slave chants, the labor movement + the black church.
"you can break me, jail me + may even kill me. but you can never take away my song"
