Michael Franti, world-renowned musician and human rights worker, travels to Iraq, Palestine and Israel to explore the human cost of war with a group of friends, some video cameras and his guitar.
A compelling soundtrack, visual and musical montages and Franti's intimate voiceovers make the film speak to the MTV, X, Y & Z generations, as well as the baby-boomers. A true armchair travel film pulling the audience into these war zones in the company of Michael's guitar, eloquence and wit - you feel the humanity, artistic resilence and sometimes horrific experience of what it's like to live under the bombs and military occupation.
Ist Tuesday Social Action Film Festival (held on the 2nd Tuesday this month), is presented by the Unitarian Universalist Church of Oak Cliff Social Action Committee in cooperation with the Dallas Peace Center. Films are free, but a donation is suggested to defray costs.
