The full series of films was released in 2008 to great critical and commercial acclaim. This episode concentrates on the singer-songwriter which also encompasses the folk tradition and the protest song. Features performances and interviews with Arlo Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Leonard Cohen and more. Song has been used by such as Joan Baez and Bob Dylan, Peter Seeger and Leonard Cohen as a passionate weapon for peace. The effect these singers managed to achieve in the sixties was one of the stronger causes of the American defeat in Vietnam.

(5 Stars!) Go Down, Moses! offers patriotic as well as anti-war material, putting songs in the context of their times starting with Bing Crosby and The Andrews Sisters during World War II. Horrifying footage accompanies some music. Along with a Woody Guthrie video, we get rather cynical talk from Pete Seeger and Joan Baez. Leonard Cohen's sequences are riveting.
