5.0 out of 5 starsAccurate
By G. Teslovich on November 17, 2010
Format: DVD
As someone that participated and filmed sit-ins, demonstrations and marches in the Northwest and also travelled through the south on two occasions to observe how civil rights issues were being handled during this late '60s and early '70s period I was particularly surprised with the accuracy and research in this documentary. For example, two sub-stories that are not well known that indicate to me me how well researched this doc is was the role that music played in providing both inspiration and motivation to many rights participants and the little know role that whites from the Northeast who travelled south, particularly from universities such as Columbia University provided as a supportive cast to this dramatic change in human consciousness. Of course, the interviews with Dr. King's supporters, musical performances and the historical film from that period provide the substance of "Soundtrack for a Revolution". To this add the editing and directing to select and meld all the interviews, film and music together and the result is an exemplary production.

5.0 out of 5 starsRevolution for a society!
By Vernon E. Grier on May 18, 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I just watched "Soundtrack for a Revolution"; what a powerful documentary!! This is a must see not only for Black people but ALL people!! It is hard to believe that once upon a time in America, we were treated so cruely, for so long, but we have come a long, long, way from the racist Jim Crow systems across the south, particularly Alabama and Mississippi. No racism hasn't gone away, it is more cleverly disguised and not as blatant these days but defintely not dead!! This documentary will enlighten and liberate you!

5.0 out of 5 starsAttention Teachers!
By Saleety on March 11, 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I showed "Soundtrack for a Revolution" to my 8th grade students towards the end of our Civil Rights Movement unit, once they were semi-familiar with many of the key events, and they loved it, so much so that many students made random, unsolicited positive comments about the video. "Soundtrack for a Revolution" does so much in its 80 minutes (I showed it in segments); I highly recommend its purchase for a personal or school collection.

5.0 out of 5 starsAmazing but needs a better Title
By H. Taylor on January 16, 2012
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The title of this documentary does not give it justice. This is truly a biography of the Civil Rights Movement versus the prominent artists that are listed in bold on the cover. I learned even more about the movement in this video versus other documentaries I have viewed. Excellent and Highly Recommended. Wish it had more LIKES.

4.0 out of 5 starsGreat clips!
By C. Ziegel on December 17, 2013
Format: Amazon Video Verified Purchase
I thought this was probably the best civil rights movie we watched, and i esp loved the historical clips, and when they would show a clip of someone in the past and then be interviewing that same person in the present. Unfortunately, my kids found it boring - I homeschool a 10 and a 17 yo.

3.0 out of 5 starsHistory with a playlist
By Frank Holly on April 28, 2012
Format: DVD
As inspiring and important as the 1960s civil rights movement was, many wonder what else can possibly be taught about that era. With "Soundtrack for A Revolution" that curiosity is fathomed. The documentary takes on a familiar approach to teaching about the civil rights movement and the infamous events that lead us to where we stand today but there was a unique artistic flair that separated "Soundtrack" from a History Channel special.
To this day, music is still arguably the most inspiring form of art and expression there is. "Soundtrack" vividly expresses the motivation that erupted from civil rights leaders and fellow protestors through music they all knew by heart and even lyrics made up on the spot to a familiar tune. The documentary almost works as a feature film version of Lionel Richie's "We Are The World" where famous musicians and movie stars all come together and sing about a common belief. "Soundtrack" is enriched by modern day artists black and white singing the songs that African Americans sang as they marched for their rights.
"Soundtrack" avoids the stale and boring interview sessions used in news specials where we hear every question and watch the emotions of the interviewees as they crank out an answer. Instead, it's as if each interviewee is telling their own personal story about the events they participated in and the emotions come natural through reliving the memories. As short and sweet as the documentary was, it instilled just enough historical information, which coincided perfectly with the interviews and musical performances by the choir and musicians.
Given the era that we are in now where everything is 180 degrees away from where it was fifty years ago, this film was produced at the perfect time.Read more ›
