Condemned by the 1950's anti-communist 'Blacklist' and unable to perform, folksinger Pete Seeger decided to try making movies. He buys an old newsreel camera and starts filming his fellow musicians while training his family to be the crew. After several small movies under their belt, Pete decides to take his family out of the country on an around the world adventure, filming musicians in the most remote corners of the earth. From Ghana to India, from Belfast to Russia they go, immersed in a global hootenanny. It is a glimpse into a world that no longer exists.
