Film Series “Pete Seeger: Power of Song”

Sunday, December 14th 2008 at 7:00 PM

Peace & Justice Center, 170 Park St, Bangor

Discussion after film. Phone ahead for childcare, 942-9343

PETE SEEGER: POWER OF SONG documents the life of one of the greatest American singer / songwriters of the last century. Largely misunderstood by his critics for his views on peace, unionism, civil rights and ecology, Seeger was targeted by the communist witch hunt of the Fifties. He was picketed, protested, blacklisted, and, in spite of his enormous popularity, banned from American television for more than 17 years. With a combination of never-before-seen archival footage and personal films made by Seeger and his wife, PETE SEEGER: POWER OF SONG chronicles the life of this legendary artist and political activist.
