As a fan of Pete Seeger for many years I was so happy to see his life shown with all the family information. Shows a person might not agree with you but still has a right to their own beliefs. A good person with the idea of helping all and living life to the fullest. Also shows that Toshi was the guiding light for the family and Pete. Without her, he would not be able to be the man he is today. His beliefs and songs have given us so much.

As a professional musician (with a fair amount of emphasis on folk music), I confess to having not been a "fan" per se of Pete Seeger's music--now I realize that I was in error. That said, I was aware of the allegations about his political views. The DVD is well produced and captures the illogic of the red-baiting that was present in the past. The filmed excerpts are edited nicely, and rebirthing the bygone spirit of those in the folk music era of the 1950s and 1960s. The sight of a batch of college-age young folks sitting around singing folk songs is refreshing. The DVD reveals that Pete Seeger has musiciological substance than I had recognized. This DVD should be included in numerous high school and college classes, and certainly merits watchng by any individual who is interested in (1) how pop culture has evolved with society and (2) high-quality folk music performances.
September 15, 2008Marvelous documentary about a remarkable person.Pete has lived his life in accordance with his principles.This is beautifully and forcefully presented with comments from family and musical admirers.It is a very moving and compelling DVD
September 10, 2008So glad I bought this! I first saw the video at a theater in Santa Fe, NM. The video not only gives us a closer look at the causes for which Seeger gave his energy but reminded us of all that was happening in the US that we might have overlooked. It took me back to my days spent in the towns along the Hudson River and the reverberations of Woodstock.

For those of us who grew up in the 60's, this is a wonderful portrait of a very influential folk singer and activist. I bought this as a gift for my 30 year old daughter who is an activist today. I knew that she would enjoy seeing where her mothers' attitudes were formed and how everything Pete stood for is still so valuable today.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could still change the world with song and togetherness, instead of anger, divisiveness and incivility that we seem to bee living with today.
