‘You Got to Move’ is an empowering, uplifting documentary about extraordinary people involved in various social change movements in the American South and how they move from feeling powerless to taking action. Interviews are intercut with footage from the past and present, illustrating moments in history related to the Labour Movement and the Civil Rights Movements and other sweeping changes in the South. The film makes connections between races, classes and generations and reaffirms the significance of land, music and community in people's lives. Its political tone is relevant and accessible to all.
