"Ralph Nader and Patti Smith: Awake From Your Slumber" "Awake From Your Slumber" brings together two visionaries: citizen-activist Ralph Nader and punk poet Patti Smith, in a powerful dialogue of war and peace. Touring together as the Democracy Rising Peace Tour, Ralph and Patti make the case against the Iraq war and the corporate takeover of our democracy. Produced by the Hudson Mohawk Independent Media Center, Awake mixes image, music and spoken word to strip away the facade of political lies and reveal the annihilation of civilization, war profiteering, the unseen dead, and the unheard cries of motherhood. Awake From Your Slumber is history lesson, poetry reading and rock concert. Above all, it is an inspiring, mesmerizing, and deeply moving call to action, showing the power of the people to make change. Special features include three additional songs by Patti Smith, an interview with Ralph Nader by Amy Goodman, and additional information about Ralph, Patti, Democracy Rising and the Hudson-Mohawk Indy Media Center. 2008.
