Sounds Like a Revolution (2010)
A vital film about the political potency of music.
Good music always comes from the heart. It can also come from the head and the gut, but the heart has to be there. When an artist gets it right the song resonates for days, weeks and sometimes decades with an every changing audience.
Sounds Like a Revolution is a small film that examines the David and Goliath role of the corporation and government in the world of music. This uncomfortable relationship has been growing for decades. However,today the film explores how the link between the corporate and the government agenda can take the form of creative censorship.
This is a film for anyone who think that all the protest music was created and the migrated to FM stations in the 60's. It's alive and well. It's just that it doesn't have a large audience due to the perfect storm of corporate agendas matched to political agendas as the film points out.
Good music is out there. Protest music is out there. Watch this film and you may find yourself repeating the line from the classic film "Network", "I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore." And even if you don't the film with educate and entertain at the same time...and that's a win any day.
