Comment
Born in Alabama in times of harsh racial segregation, Odetta said she healed her hatred and hurt by singing. Through her own words in a long, intimate interview with the BBC, the film pays tribute to the life and work of a great guitarist, singer and civil rights campaigner who was hugely influential on the 60s folk revival. Featuring concert footage from throughout her 50-year career.
