Discover a whole new side of Woody Guthrie that will forever change your view of one of America's most celebrated songwriters and cultural icons.

The name Woody Guthrie conjures images of Dust Bowl families from the 1930s fleeing their wind-ravaged farms, along with those famous lyrics “This land is your land, this land is my land / From California to the New York Island.” Woody’s horizons extended far beyond the dusty Oklahoma hills of his youth. When his wanderings and ramblings brought him to New York City, in the 1940s, he was introduced into a vibrant Jewish culture that he wholeheartedly embraced. Explore a whole new side of Woody Guthrie that will change your view of one of America’s most celebrated songwriters and cultural icons.

The film will be followed by a Zoom Q&A with director Steven Pressman.
