FREE TO ROCK
is a documentary film directed by 4-time Emmy winning filmmaker Jim
Brown and narrated by Kiefer Sutherland. Rock & Roll spread like an
uncontrollable virus across Eastern Europe despite Communist attempts to
outlaw it. Thousands of underground bands and millions of young fans
who yearned for Western freedoms and embraced this music as the Sound of Freedom, helped
fuel the nonviolent implosion of the Soviet regime. Free to Rock
features Presidents, diplomats, spies and rock stars from the West and
the Soviet Union who reveal how Rock & Roll music was a
contributing factor in ending the Cold War.
Q&A with executive producers Nick Binkley and Doug Yeager (author of the companion book) after the film.
