Documentary Film Synopsis:
Armed with an acoustic guitar and a video camera, musician Michael Franti takes us on a musical journey through war and occupation in Iraq, Israel and Palestine. Along the way he shares his music with families, doctors, musicians, soldiers and everyday people who in turn reveal to him the often overlooked human cost of war. Told in their own words, this film provides a rare glimpse into the lives of those who are affected by war the most. Michael's storytelling and songs masterfully weave the film into a visual
and musical tribute to the resilience of the human spirit. www.iknowimnotalone.com
