The reflective documentary
Pete Seeger: The Power of Song explores the legacy of revered American
folk singer and activist
Seeger - written and directed by filmmaker
Jim Brown when
Seeger was in his late '80s. In lieu of recounting the narrative of
Seeger's life note-for-note, however,
Brown uses that individual biography as a contextual lens, through which he recounts decades of American social history. To tell his story, the filmmaker interpolates original, exclusive interviews with such
Seeger contemporaries as
Bob Dylan and
Bruce Springsteen, archival footage of
Seeger in concert, and extracts from
Seeger's private home movies. In the process,
Brown unveils the extent to which
Seeger continually prompted societal change through his consciousness-raising music and offstage social efforts.
