DISCONTINUED
This extraordinary song remains at the heart of an extraordinary movement and receives here the acclaim it deserves.
-- Washington Post

"A unique film that highlights the linkage between social action and music. If you believe that Eyes on the Prize captured the history of the Civil Rights movement, then you should also own We Shall Overcome."
-- Henry Hampton, Executive Producer, Eyes on the Prize

"One of the few films to trace the cultural origins of the Civil Rights movement."
-- Claybourne Carson, Stanford University

"An excellent study of how American folk culture can provide the songs and symbols around which great social movements define themselves."
-- Ralph Rinzler, Smithsonian Institution
