BEST EDITOR - LA Independent Women Film Awards | Screened at National PBS Broadcast Presented by KQED and United Nations Association Film Festival

Labor, Peace, and Civil Rights Movement • Folk Music • U.S. History and Democracy • Women's History and Feminism • Intergenerational Communities • Aging

An American original, Faith Petric (1915-2013) rejected conformity, built musical communities, and refreshingly embraced aging. Through her journey, SINGING FOR JUSTICE shows how committed networks of people sustain resistance to inequality - through speaking up and singing out. Told largely by Petric herself, the film draws upon a treasure trove of sources – creating a seamless narrative in which Faith was not abstractly affected by world events but chose actively to engage with them.

Born in a log cabin and radicalized during the Great Depression, Faith Petric discovered folk music in college and in the Greenwich Village folk scene in the 1940s. She began singing for social justice – labor, peace, civil rights, and women’s rights -- for the rest of her life. After raising her daughter as a single mother, Faith retired at age 55 and reinvented herself as a traveling folk singer. For decades she toured the U.S. and internationally, performing into her 90s. She nurtured the San Francisco Folk Music Club, opening her home to generations of musicians and anyone who wanted to play and sing along. Faith’s story encourages us to raise our own voices, find joy in protest, and create lives of meaningful engagement.

Prof. Allan M. Winkler, Author of To Everything There Is a Season: Pete Seeger and the Power of Song
“What an absolutely lovely documentary about Faith Petric! This film covers not only her own life, but beautifully records her interactions with all the major figures of the folk revival.”

Prof. Judith Smith, American Studies, University of Massachusetts, Amherst
“Singing for Justice takes us through the twentieth century on the shoulders of a tremendously appealing, ordinary, and yet extraordinary woman, Faith Petric. Her unconventional life journey revises historical generalizations about rural life, the Great Depression, World War II, the Red Scare, the Civil Rights Movement, and the Counterculture (not just for the young!) For Faith, singing with others was a way to expose injustice, build community, support social change, and become one’s authentic self, having a wonderful time every step of the way.

Students in US History, American Studies, and Women’s Studies will find Singing for Justice an inspiring account of what might be possible: leaving a one room log cabin in Idaho where she began singing hymns and cowboy songs, discovering folk songs in the 1930s, and then seizing any opportunity to be part of singing social movements from the 1940s until shortly before her death in 2013."

Rev. Fred Small, Singer-Songwriter
"Singing for Justice is a miracle of a film: in less than an hour it captures Faith Petric’s essence and effervescence, bringing her inspiring example and irrepressible grin to new audiences worldwide just when we need them most. For Faith, it was never about the singer or even the song. It was about building community and lifting our spirits, empowering us to take our place joyfully in the long struggle for justice and peace."

Elise Bryant, Director, D.C. Labor Chorus and President, Coalition of Labor Union Women
“Singing for Justice is a beautifully powerful film about one of our unsung – until now – s/heroes, Faith Petric. Faith spent her whole adult life creating a community space where anyone and everyone could come together in songs that addressed the everyday struggles and victories of workers, women, and immigrants. Faith was always a shining light of song and hope in the face of adversity. This film is relevant to all musical groups and other audiences. They will look upon this story of one woman’s effort to build a community of social justice singer/activists, and be renewed.”

Prof. Anne Gray Fischer, U.S. Women's, Gender, and Sexuality History, University of Texas at Dallas
"Singing for Justice brings the history of folk music to life through the surprising and inspiring story of musician Faith Petric. I had never heard of Faith Petric before, but thanks to this joyful and resolute history of her life, she is unforgettable to me now. Singing for Justice will be a welcome watch for students curious about the history of music, gender, and struggle--and for anyone who believes in the restorative power of a community singalong."

Zoe Mahony, High School History Teacher
"Singing for Justice is an excellent documentary to watch with United States History or Ethnic Studies students. Faith’s story brings to life in a personal and inspiring way many of the 20th century events we study. Students will enjoy watching Faith’s activism in peace and Civil Rights movements and identifying her personal experience in a “Rosie the Riveter” job and being targeted by McCarthy. This film provides abundant opportunity for discussion on living a values-rich life and building community as well as an opportunity to discuss how music has been used for activism by many different people and movements."

48 Hills | Marke Bieschke
"Petric led one of those infuriatingly productive and inspirational lives that renews one’s faith in humanity, all while singing some of the most rousing, humorous, and catchy tunes ever written."

Mission Local | Pam Grady
"What Freedman and Herring uncovered in their work was a remarkable life, from Petric’s arrival in San Francisco from Idaho via freighter as a young woman in the 1930s, to her work as a real-life Rosie the Riveter building Liberty Ships during World War II, to a life spent in support of the peace and civil rights movements, including marching with Martin Luther King Jr. in Selma, Alabama, in 1965."
