SOUNDTRACK FOR A REVOLUTION tells the story of the American civil rights movement through its powerful music – the freedom songs protesters sang on picket lines, in mass meetings, paddy wagons and in jail cells as they fought for justice and equality. The music and its infectious energy enabled African-Americans to sing words they could not say, helping protesters to face down brutal aggression with dignity and non-violence. Featuring new performances of these freedom songs by such celebrated performers as John Legend, Joss Stone, Wyclef Jean and The Roots, the film couples thrilling performances with riveting archival footage and interviews with civil rights foot soldiers and leaders, including Congressman John Lewis and Julian Bond. Directed by Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman (NANKING) and executive produced by Danny Glover, SOUNDTRACK FOR A REVOLUTION is a film of poignance, energy, and power.
Film subject and civil rights activist Lula Hoe Williams will be present for discussion at the screening and is available for interviews. Ms. Williams' involvement in the Civil Rights Movement began in 1961, when she attended a Mass Rally at First Baptist Church in Montgomery, Alabama during the Freedom Riders first visit to Montgomery. She worked under the leadership of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is a member of the MLK March Committee and worked at the Southern Christian Leadership Conference for a number of years.
