Bill Moyers: Lessons on Democracy From Woody Guthrie

With a center being built in Tulsa devoted to the work of Woody Guthrie, Bill looks back at the singer-songwriter’s life and work, finding many points of irony and relevance given the current state of our economy and democracy. Is this land truly made for you and me? In this visual and musical journey, Bill asks the question, and puts forth a sobering answer.
