PETE SEEGER'S LEGACY is a program that looks back at Pete Seeger's life and times. Unlike previous Seeger films, this program not only assesses Seeger's political and social efforts but shows the effect of those efforts on a wide range of people and, most importantly, upon the rivers and waters of the world. Among its singular aspects is a sizable segment on Seeger's communism, and how it fit into America of the late 30's and early 40s. Seeger's son has written that no one, to his knowledge, has ever explored this subject satisfactorily on television or film until now, and that Pete never explored it within his own family.
