Pete Seeger: The Power of Song

Pete Seeger has been making music for 80 years. It should be impossible to do that justice in 90 minutes, but "Pete Seeger: The Power of Song" does it. This tightly packed, but graceful, documentary tells the story through the voices of musicians, friends, family, and the man himself, along with a rich helping of music.

Seeger's story is full of subplots, all covered here: hoboing with Woody Guthrie, stardom with The Weavers, blacklisting and contempt of Congress, the civil rights movement, Vietnam War activism, Hudson River cleanup, and elder statesman of the folk movement.
