"Soundtrack for a Revolution" tells the story of the American civil rights movement through its powerful music--the freedom songs protesters sang in their fight for justice and equality. The film features vibrant new performances by top artists, including John Legend, Wyclef Jean, Joss Stone and The Roots; riveting archival footage; and interviews with civil rights foot soldiers and leaders, including Congressman John Lewis, Harry Belafonte, Julian Bond and Ambassador Andrew Young.

Powerful music indeed! I saw this at a Stanford University screening with the two men who made the film. Amazing evening with thoughtful Q&A afterwards.
