69 - WOODY GUTHRIE:THREE CHORDS AND THE TRUTH

The conventional image of Woody Guthrie is of the "Dust Bowl Troubadour” but there is much more to him. This touching and inspirational film reveals a tale of survival, creativity and reinvention. Railing against his racist upbringing, he is proof that there is potential for change and even today, fifty years after his death, he is challenging Donald Trump from beyond the grave. Unearthing a previously unheard Guthrie recording this film proves he has a true place in 21st-century culture.
