Frühling, Sommer, Herbst und Winter. Familie und Freunde. Liebe und Wärme. Freude und Trauer. Hoffnung und Verzweiflung. Gemeinschaft. Einsamkeit. Eine Geburt. Ein Todesfall. Die Zeit vergeht…
a film by Mike Leigh

Arguably the most provocative band of the last 20 years, Rage Against The Machine have since their explosive debut, been the group most associated with the American protest movement. This film dissects the work and career of RATM and looks at their place in this always fascinating lineage of artists and performers who have spoken out on behalf of, and drawn attention to, the world’s marginalised, downtrodden and oppressed. Picking up the flame from a linear musical tradition going back to the War Of Independence, with the best known protagonists coming up during the 1950s and 60s civil rights movement via artists such as Pete Segar and the young Bob Dylan, the anger remained as brutal as ever during the final decade of the 20th Century in Rage and contemporaries like Public Enemy. FEATURING: Brand new interviews with; renowned Rage producer and engineer, Garth Richardson; RATM Biographer, Colin Devenish; the band’s live sound engineer, Dave ‘Rat’ Levine and the man who signed them Michael Goldstone. With further contributions from folk-protest singer and author Jerry Silverman, ex-’Rolling Stone’ editor Joe Levy, and Professor of American Studies and English at Washington State University, T.V. Reed.
Abseits allen Trubels bringt eine Elefantenkuh ihr Baby zur Welt. Seine ersten Schritte sind mühevoll und schon teilt er aller Welt lauthals seinen Kummer mit. Wie soll er mit seinen wackligen Beinen gehen? Wo soll die Reise hin? Warum die Eile? Seine Mutter gibt ihr Bestes, um den Kleinen zu beruhigen. Er ist ängstlich und neben den überaus grossen Erwachsenen noch so klein und schutzlos.
