09/26/10
OVERVIEW: A fresh and
exhilarating take on one of the most important social movements
in American history, SOUNDTRACK FOR A REVOLUTION explores the
civil rights struggle through the powerful and stirring songs
that inspired a generation. In this deeply moving documentary,
legends of the fight for equal rights such as Congressman John
Lewis, Julian Bond, Ambassador Andrew Young and Martin Luther
King Jr.’s widow, Coretta Scott King, testify to the
indispensable role that songs of rebellion and hope played in
helping activists fight against brutality and injustice. In
riveting studio performances, top contemporary artists including
John Legend, Wyclef Jean, The Roots and Joss Stone reinvigorate
and reinvent timeless songs like “We Shall Overcome” and
“Wade in the Water.”
SYNOPSIS: Through a creative combination of historical footage, deeply personal interviews and heartfelt performances, SOUNDTRACK FOR A REVOLUTION makes an original, emotionally stirring contribution to the civil rights story. This stunning film is a testament to the vitality of music in the lives and times of those who strive for justice. .
