User Reviews

One of the year's best documentaries

Caught this at the Traverse City Film Festival and have to say I enjoyed it much more than I expected to. It's not just about the music, but this godforsaken war we are mired in and the footage of Iraq along with the interviews with various veterans who contacted Neil Young following the release of his album Living With War that inspired the tour is all very moving. Interspersed throughout is footage from the Vietnam Era that provides a potent illustration of how similar the current mess has become to that infamous quagmire. History really does repeat itself.

Comedically, I also enjoyed the audience interviews in Atlanta among the dozens that walked out because it was "too political." what in the hell did they expect on the Freedom of Speech Tour in an election year? Very funny stuff.
