Pete Seeger: A Song and a Stone
€18,99
Filmed in 1972, this biographical documentary follows folk musician-activist Pete Seeger over the course of eighteen months, showing him in concert, interviews and previously filmed footage.
Includes his performances of songs that he either wrote or rediscovered, and that were made famous by other singers, including Where Have All the Flowers Gone and Turn, Turn, Turn.
Also features Johnny Cash, Don McLean, Rev FD Kirkpatrick, Lester Flatt, Toshi Seeger, Charles Seeger and more.
The film begins with his breakthrough television appearance on The Johnny Cash Show, after seventeen years of being blacklisted from radio and television due to his refusal to testify for the House of Un-American Activities Committee in the mid-1950s. Johnny Cash, who once called Seeger the "finest American and patriot I know," relates the opposition he had to overcome to have Seeger as a guest on his show.
Seeger is shown singing several of his own songs, as well as those of others, among them, a song written by his protégé, Don McLean. Seeger is also seen with his contemporaries, musicians such as Lester Flatt and Rev. F. D. Kirkpatrick. Appearing in the film are Seeger's wife Toshi and his father Charles, an eminent musicologist. It also shows him at home with his family and participating in protest demonstrations among other things.
In addition to being America's best-loved folksinger and an untiring environmentalist, Pete Seeger is a national treasure. He has been at the forefront of the labour movement, the struggle for Civil Rights, the peace and anti-war movements, and the fight for a clean world. He has been a beacon for hope for millions of people all over the world.
