Opens Friday at Santa Fe's CCA: Pete Seeger, The Power of Song

From the :

Pete Seeger: The Power of Song
In this first authorized biography, Jim Brown connects with the architect of the folk revival. Pete Seeger, the author of songs including "Where Have All the Flowers Gone," "Turn, Turn, Turn" and "If I Had A Hammer," has long been misunderstood by his critics and vilified by the U.S. government for his views on peace, unionism, civil rights and ecology. He became a central target during the Red Scare, when he was picketed, blacklisted, and, in spite of his enormous popularity, banned from American television for more than 17 years.

Using never-before-seen archival footage and home movies and interviews with Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springstein, Natalie Maines, Tom Paxton and Peter, Paul and Mary, this wondrous documentary serves as testament of Seeger's belief in the power of song and his conviction that individuals can make a difference. This is the musical biography event of the year. (U.S., 2007, 91m, 35mm, Weinstein Company) "A stirring, revelatory film." -Owen Glebierman, Entertainment Weekly.
