In the program: "Kisses Sweeter than Wine" - songs of Pete Seeger:

The film documents the life of one of the greatest American singer/songwriters of the last century. Pete Seeger was the architect of the folk revival, writing some of its best known songs including “Where have All the Flowers Gone”, “Turn, Turn, Turn” and “If I Had a Hammer”. Largely misunderstood and criticized for his strong beliefs, he was picketed, protested, blacklisted and, in spite of his enormous popularity, banned from commercial television for more than 17 years. Musicians including Bob Dylan, Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Bonnie Raitt, Bruce Springsteen, Natalie Maines, and Peter, Paul & Mary appear in this intimate portrait and discuss Seeger’s lasting influence on the fabric of American music.
