Soundtrack for a Revolution



By: Vanessa Aron

Soundtrack for a Revolution was astounding and powerful. Focusing on the songs of the civil rights movement of the 50’s and 60’s, majority of these songs have been passed down through the history of slavery and still hold relevance even today. The original footage from the times and events was very moving and the personal stories were moving and sometimes gut-wrenching. It is amazing to see an entire generation rise up for a greater good and equally as amazing to see the violence enacted against these activists. Soundtrack for a Revolution was eye opening. Enough said.

You can see Soundtrack for a Revolution this fall when it plays on PBS. Check out http://www.soundtrackforarevolutionfilm.com/Home.html for listing info.
