Musician, Michael Franti, has made a career out of his role as singer/activist in bands such as The Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy, and his most successful band, Spearhead.
Frequently outspoken on the state of the world, Franti decided to take time off to visit the Middle East, and share his own vision of life in Iraq, Palestine and Israel. Through music, and a refreshing sense of genuine curiosity, Franti connects with the people living their lives in the midst of chaos – cab-drivers, teachers, parents, children – and he also engages military personnel in the most direct way imaginable.
There are scenes that inspire, scenes that anger, but at all times, a sense of an unaffiliated voice that speaks about the very human cost of war.
