      Reviews The Weavers, one of the most important folk groups of the 20th century, are the subject of this documentary by Jim Brown. Composed of Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, Fred Hellerman and Ronnie Gilbert, the Weavers sang folk songs in the political tradition, and their social justice stances eventually brought them the attention of the U.S. government.

      Audience Member PAN AND SCAN. Hermoso y nostálgico testimonio musical de un grupo folk, más aún porque se trata de un concierto reunión ocurrido hace casi 30 años, luego de 22 años de no cantar juntos. / Beautiful musical and nostalgic testimony of this folk group, more so for being about a reunion concert that happened almost 30 years ago, after 22 years of not playing together. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Great stuff for fans of Pete Seeger and other folkies. If this ever comes out on DVD, I am getting it.
