The Power of Song...

Two-time Oscar winning director Bill Guttentag presents SOUNDTRACK FOR A REVOLUTION: AMERICAN EXPERIENCE...the story of the American civil rights movement through music -- the freedom songs protesters sang on picket lines, in mass meetings, in paddy wagons and in jail cells as they fought for justice and equality. The music enabled African-Americans to sing words they could not say and it was crucial in helping protesters as they faced down brutal aggression with dignity and non-violence. This documentary is a blend of heart-wrenching interviews, dramatic images and contemporary performances by top artists, including John Legend, Joss Stone, Wyclef Jean and The Roots...8pm
