Inhalt:

Die USA in der Weltwirtschaftskrise der 30er Jahre: Der arbeitslose Schildermaler Woody Guthrie (David Carradine) trampt auf einem Güterzug durch das Land, um im sonnigen Kalifornien sein Glück zu versuchen. Doch die Not entwurzelter Landarbeiter und die schlechten Arbeitsbedingungen machen aus ihm einen Revolutionär, der mit Gitarre, Worten und Fäusten für eine gerechtere Zukunft kämpft. Bald machen Guthries Lieder vielen Menschen Mut - was anderen Leuten gar nicht gefällt...


Synopsis:


Hal Ashby (The Last Detail, Being There) directed this lyrical and affecting 1976 biography of legendary folk singer Woody Guthrie. David Carradine gives a powerful performance as the traveling Depression-era vagabond whose music affected generations. Guthrie is portrayed as an earnest soul whose passion and empathy for the working class spurs him to inspirational heights. Ronny Cox (Deliverance, Beverly Hills Cop) plays a union organizer who sees the value in Guthrie's words and music and persuades him to put his music to good use for the people struggling to earn a living wage. Featuring Melinda Dillon as Guthrie's wife, this easygoing travelogue conveys an authentic sense of period Americana and won Academy Awards for Haskell Wexler's cinematography as well as for the score based on Guthrie's own music. Bound for Glory is an important film to see for anyone in love with the origins of folk music and interested in its place in the 20th century
