By strumming his guitar with words of inspiration, Woody Guthrie instilled hope in the hearts of downtrodden Americans everywhere during the 1930s Depression. Now, the extraordinary life of this legendary balladeer and poet is captured in this “elegantly crafted, hugely beautiful and interesting film, which reveals loving integrity in every frame” (Los Angeles Times)!

Featuring classic Guthrie tunes including “This Land Is Your Land,” this “moving, inspiring” (The Hollywood Reporter) portrait of an American icon is “one of [the] year’s most admirable and triumphant surprises” (Los Angeles Times)!
