PETE SEEGER: THE POWER OF SONG

PETE SEEGER: THE POWER OF SONG (2007, U.S.) 93 min. (PG) Director: Jim Brown (THE WEAVERS: WASN’T THAT A TIME; WE SHALL OVERCOME). Appearing: Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen, Natalie Maines of the Dixie Chicks, Tom Paxton, Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Peter Yarrow, Mary Travers, Julian Bond and Bonnie Raitt.

“I don’t know if Pete Seeger believes in saints, but I believe he is one. He’s the one in the front, playing the banjo, as they go marching in. This film is a tribute to the legendary singer and composer who has always thought that music can be a force for good, and he has proved it by writing songs that have helped shape our times (‘If I Had a Hammer’ and ‘Turn, Turn, Turn’), along with popularizing ‘We Shall Overcome’ and Guthrie’s, ‘This Land Is Your Land.’ Over his long career (he is 88), Pete has toured tirelessly with song and stories, never happier than when he gets everyone in the audience to sing along. Pete invented a new kind of banjo, did more for the rebirth of that instrument than anyone else, co-founded two folk-song magazines, and with Toshi, his wife of 62 years, did more and sooner than most to live a ‘green’ lifestyle, just because it was his nature. On rural land in upstate New York, they lived for years in a log cabin he built himself. ‘I like to say I’m more conservative than Goldwater. He just wanted to turn the clock back to when there was no income tax. I want to turn the clock back to when people lived in small villages and took care of each other.’ With access to remarkable archival footage, old TV shows, home movies and the family photo album, film director Brown weaves together the story of the Seegers with testimony by admirers who represent his influence and legacy: Springsteen, Dylan, Tom Paxton, Joan Baez, Arlo Guthrie, Bonnie Raitt and others.” Ebert, ROGEREBERT.COM.
