So, "Pete Seeger: A Song and A Stone" is a pretty fascinating watch if you're into folk music and activism. The film has this raw, organic feel and captures Pete in a way that feels very genuine—his passion for social justice shines through his songs. You get a sense of the era, the struggles he faced, and how he used music as a tool for change. The pacing meanders a bit, but it allows you to soak in the atmosphere. There's this striking sequence with him on the Clearwater sloop, which really drives home the environmental message. The documentary's charm lies in its simplicity and the way it showcases Seeger's spirit, making it a distinctive piece in the folk music genre.
Originally released on 16mm, this documentary has seen a few formats but remains relatively scarce in the collector's market. There’s a certain niche interest in films that document folk legends, and Seeger's impact on music and activism only adds to its desirability. As such, finding a good quality print or DVD is becoming harder, and collectors often seek this title to complete their music documentary collections.
