This film is an inspiring documentary of the American Civil Rights Movement and the music and songs that were a part of it. The film features civil rights activists, archival footage of the movement as well as the speeches of Martin Luther King, and contemporary renditions of movement anthems.
This film represents a perfect example of the yogic principle of Ahimsa (non-violence). The Civil Rights Movement was a peaceful movement inspired by the ideals of Gandhi that stood up to segregation, racism, and police brutality without resorting to violence.
This film is the highlight of the Festival, and due to both screenings being sold out (and standing ovations at both), a third screening has been added on Sat.Oct.10 at 1:50pm. See www.viff.org for details and ticket info.
