Folk Icons: Pete Seeger is a beautifully filmed 105-minute concert showcasing one of the most provocative figures in music history. In 1963 Pete Seeger, blacklisted and barred from American television, fled the persecution of his homeland and embarked on a 10-month world tour. One of his first stops was Australia where he was welcomed with open arms and sold-out performances. This DVD not only presents a full concert filmed in Melbourne but also includes 55 minutes of bonus footage from various other Australian television appearances. Witness how one man, armed only with a banjo, a guitar and the power of song, captures the hearts and minds of a nation.

Movin' On Up: The Music and Message of Curtis Mayfield & The Impressions is the definitive documentary on one of the most important artists and greatest groups of all time.

Throughout the '60s the Impressions helped provide a soundtrack for the civil rights movement with such classic songs as "People Get Ready," "Meeting Over Yonder," "Choice of Colors" and "We're A Winner." Later as a solo artist Curtis further defined an era with his '70s masterpiece, Superfly.
This two-hour documentary tells their incredible story through interviews with Impressions Fred Cash and Sam Gooden, Curtis' wife Altheida Mayfield, producer/ arranger Johnny Pate, Carlos Santana, Chuck D, civil rights leader Ambassador Andrew Young, and archival interviews with Curtis Mayfield, as well as 22 complete performances filmed between 1965 and 1973. This film celebrates the craft and conscience of one of the 20th century's great souls.
