Freedom Highway: Songs That Shaped a Century plot

Every political struggle has its musical ammunition. And some protest songs have even been given the opportunity to become the national anthem of a liberated country, such as 'Nkosi Sikelel 'i Afrika' in South Africa. The composers, musicians and commentators who collaborated on Freedom Highway explain why certain songs travel the world and cause decisive change. 'Songs are easily recorded by people. All it takes are a pair of ears and a heart.'
