CSNY/DÉJÀ VU at Sundance:
"Neil Young asked three of his friends to join him in singing songs of protest, and in filming the public's reaction to the four of them speaking out, as they have in the past. The reactions to four Americans speaking their minds, as shown in the film, are striking, and often troubling. Reactions to the film itself -- whether vehement or indifferent -- might be even more so." -- Evan Handler, Huffington Post "There were no faces without moistened or even reddish eyes, including mine. I can't recall the last time I've witnessed such emotional unanimity in an audience." -- David Leitner, Digital Content Producer "Making music, making fun of themselves and making as much political hay as possible, Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young set out to alleviate the public allergy to Iraq War films with 'CSNY/DÉJÀ VU,' a doc that seems quite likely to effect a cure." -- John Anderson, Variety CSNY/DÉJÀ VU Press Reports: Leitner's Mondo 2008 Sundance - Saturday Digital Content Producer, 1/26/08 Csny Deja Vu (Documentary) Variety, 1/27/08 Four Warhorses On Living With War Hollywood Reporter, 1/27/08 Find The Cost Of Freedom (Of Speech) Huffington Post, 1/30/08 Neil Young Admits Music Can't Change World Spiegel Online, 2/08/08 Neil Young: Music Can't Change World Associated Press, 2/08/08 Sorry, Neil Young, Music Never Could Change The World Huffington Post, 2/09/08 Neil Young Says Music Has Lost Its Punch Contra Costa Times, 2/09/08 Change The World?
