 New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Sounds Like A Revolution Movie Website) - Sounds Like a Revolution is a feature documentary about a whole new generation of activists musicians who are living proof that music is an important and powerful tool in the ongoing struggle for social change. Focusing on the personal experiences of four independent musicians, we come to understand their motivations and their struggles as they face a post-9/11 environment where dissent is silenced and media outlets either ignore or self-censor material before it's released. This film is the journey of Michael Franti, Fat Mike, Paris, and Anti-Flag who started their careers when corporate consolidation in the music industry began to make it virtually impossible for political artists to be heard in the mainstream. But these four artists became pioneers, setting an example for many to follow as they were forced to invent new and unique ways to sidestep and breakthrough every attempt to censor them. Through their music and message they have "enraged, enlightened and inspired" a whole new generation of activists around the world. With a collection of live performances, political rallies, music videos and uncensored commentaries from some of the most outspoken icons in the business - folk legend Pete Seeger, The Dixie Chicks, David Crosby, Steve Earle, Jello Biafra, Ani DiFranco, Wayne Kramer (MC5), Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine) and more - Sounds Like a Revolution offers a unique historical perspective behind the new wave of protest music sweeping America.
