The story of the appalling inequality African Americans faced only 50 years ago and the struggle of Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement is retold vividly for the Obama generation through image and music.
Compelling archival footage and witness testimony is interspersed with dynamite contemporary performances of movement anthems by, among others, Wyclef Jean, TV on the Radio, John Legend, Anthony Hamilton and the Blind Boys of Alabama, Richie Havens, The Roots and Joss Stone (whose stirring rendition of 'Eyes on the Prize' is a stand out). Soundtrack sets out to be rousing and it succeeds. At last year’s Vancouver Film Festival it trumped all comers, documentary or fiction, to win the Audience Award for best film.
