Soundtrack for a Revolution is the story of how music played a significant, powerful role in the Civil Rights movement. From Mahalia Jackson’s “How I Got Over” to her mentoring of the inimitable Aretha Franklin who carried the torch to the numerous artists that held steadfast during their careers so that these young instruments like The Roots, TV on the Radio and John Legend could perform all over the world. The imagery is obviously rooted in Martin Luther King’s leadership, archival footage and interviews with the foot soldiers like Harry Belafonte and others. The soundtrack is today’s voices like Anthony Hamilton, who with the Blind Boys of Alabama, lendvocal arrangements to the sound of the day. Today, in tribute to Martin Luther King, we share a sneak peek at the trailer. Directed by Bill Guttentag and Dan Sturman (Nanking), and executive produced by Danny Glover, SOUNDTRACK FOR A REVOLUTION is a vibrant blend of heart-wrenching interviews, dramatic images, and thrilling contemporary performances — a film of significance, energy, and power.
