documentary
Fine doc on the man who traveled the world collecting the songs real people sang...the songs that reflected their history, their culture their humanity.
Singing, really music of all kinds has been commodified and that which couldn't be turned into money has been buried in the avalanche of Sinatra, Bieber et al. and is now being forgotten.
These songs were important to people for generations. They entertained, served as oral history and bound people to each other. Most importantly they wrote and sang them themselves. We have become a nation of spectators and are the poorer for it.
Much of this doc was very moving. Good job.
