A few days ago my friend Hilary sent me an email about the passing of her young friend. Carlos Alvarez died a week ago of a heart attack. He was 29 years old. He died doing what he loved: dancing. As Hilary tells me, “Carlos was a truly an inspired dancer, artist, [...]
Documentary “Let Fury Have the Hour” Director Antonino D’Ambrosio just recently toured the United States to promote his newest book “A Heartbeat and a Guitar: Johnny Cash and the Making of Bitter Tears.” This is a sample of what audiences had the opportunity to experience– a unique mix of both folk music and the inspiring story of Cash’s most revolutionary album.
Thievery Corporation was generous enough to invite us to shoot their performance on this cold winter evening, and what a powerful performance it was, as you’ll see…
D’Ambrosio joined Laura Flanders in the GRITtv studio to talk about the history of protest music, the myth of Johnny Cash, and why music is one of the best ways to carry a progressive message. Then, in a special performance, he was joined by Anthony Roman and David Milone of the band Radio 4 to perform Cash’s song “Apache Tears” live.
Produced, written and directed by Antonino D’Ambrosio, No Free Lunch features brilliant comedian Lewis Black of the hit Comedy Central political news satire show, The Daily Show. Presented by the Service Employee International Union (SEIU)— a union representing nearly 2 million public service workers including nurses, hospital staff, nursing home care providers, building services and security guard. Using the political satire of Lewis Black, the film directly exposes the effects private equity has had on workers and the American economy.
We were honored to have Wayne take the time to discuss his adventures as a pioneer of punk rock while playing in the MC5, working with Billy Bragg on non-profit Jail Guitar Doors (a program that provides musical instruments and opportunities to help rehabilitate prisoners), and his concepts of revolution through music. Wayne also took up his guitar for us. This will no doubt stand as a pivotal moment in the creation of Let Fury Have the Hour.
Laura Flanders from GRITtv.com continues to follow Let Fury Have the Hour’s progress throughout production.
Director/writer Antonino D’Ambrosio, Artist Shepard Fairey, and Producer James Reid invite you to attend a unique multimedia exhibit showcasing feature documentary Let Fury Have the Hour, and publication of the book A Heartbeat and a Guitar: Johnny Cash and the Making of Bitter Tears.

“Art is the antidote. This timeless truth became clear once again on Saturday night when Subliminal Projects, the Echo Park art gallery owned by Shepard Fairey, hosted a politically- and musically-charged event that celebrated artists as activists and art as a way to agitate consciousness and raise awareness about social justice…” Click on the image to view the entire article.
Jack Healey speaks at the event “A Furious Heartbeat.”
“As the poet hunts for the perfect word, the artist hunts for the right painting or the right color, we humans should hunt for the perfect world.”
