Besides a treasure trove of film footage (both black & white,as well as colour)of the events that transpired a nation,there is testimony from some of the pioneers of the Civil Rights movement (folk singer/activist,Harry Belafonte,John Lewis,Charles Neblett,Robert Cohen,etc.),as well as performances of some of the music that shaped a nation by the likes of The Roots,John Legend,Joss Stone,Wyclef Jean,Richie Havens & The Blind Boys Of Alabama,to mention a few,as well as original film footage of the songs being sung by the people who were clamoring for social change (via newsreel & television film clips). All of this,and more is documented in Bill Guttentag & Dan Sturman's superlative documentary,"Soundtrack For A Revolution".

Interspersed with a strong score by Christopher Lennertz that encompasses everything from pulsating and brooding action soundscapes to pieces that intentionally act as a pastiche of the stereotypical superhero movie soundtrack, these selected songs at times add extra weight to the scenes they accompany, and at other times put a juxtaposing slant on an otherwise grisly visual sequence.
