Soundtrack for a Revolution

 

USA 2009, 82 minutes
Dir. Bill Guttentag, Dan Sturman
Genres: Documentary, Music

Topics: Politics.

 

Aroview: Joss Stone, John Legend, Wyclef Jean, and The Roots, among others, perform tribute covers of freedom songs from the American Civil Rights movement in this stirring documentary about protest and fight for justice and equality.

Though the film’s powerful use of archival footage carries plenty of emotional clout, the contemporising of the ‘soundtrack’ won't be music to the purist ear, with the cover versions sometimes struggling to evoke the era. Still, a moving historical document energized by some fresh, soulful beats.
