The Kennedy Center Presents:
SPEAK TRUTH TO POWER
A PBS Home Video
Speak Truth to Power is a powerful mix of poetry, music and documentary footage dedicated to human rights advocates from more than 40 countries. Taping the show before a distinguished audience at The John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, the all-star case creates a unique special that includes on-location footage from India and Guatemala, and interviews with leading activists including Oscar Arias, Sister Helen Prejean and Harry Wu. Musical offerings include appearances by singer-songwriter Jackson Browne and South African jazz master Hugh Masekela. The program, part of an initiative to draw attention to the ongoing battle for human rights, features the premiere of a new work, “Speak Truth to Power: Voices from Beyond the Dark,” by poet, playwright and activist Ariel Dorfman.
