Now, the extraordinary life of this legendary balladeer and poet is captured in the 'elegantly crafted, hugely beautiful and interesting film, which reveals loving integrity in every frame' (Los Angeles Times)! Winner of two Oscars and starring David Carradine, Bound For Glory features 'magnificent cinematography' (New York Magazine) and an amazing score adaption.; ; It's 1936, and the Great Depression is forcing droves of people from the dust bowls of Texas to the alluring green fields of California...and unemployed sign-painter Woody Guthrie is among them. Determined to find a better life out west, Guthrie hitchhikes, hops freight trains and signs his way across America, uplifting the spirits of the poor with his homespun wisdom and fiercely fighting for a better life for all. Featuring classic Guthrie tunes including 'This Land is Your Land,' this 'moving, inspiring' (The Hollywood Reporter) portrait of an American icon is 'one of [the] year's most admirable and triumphant surprises' (Los Angeles Times)!
