Pete Seeger was a tireless champion in the struggle for civil and workers rights. His music inspires and illuminates.
It is as relevant and important today as it was 85 years ago. The folksinging tradition he helped establish is alive and much needed today.
His protest music supported international disarmament, civil rights, workers’ rights, counterculture, environment causes and ending the Vietnam War. As a member of the Communist Party before World War II, he was blacklisted during the McCarthy era. He strived to build community through music.
This wonderful film will be followed by live folksinging dealing with the timeless, current challenges we face today.
