In 1970, Edwin Starr’s song War came out, and it was an immediate hit. It was an anti-Vietnam War anthem, and is the most successful protest song to become a pop hit.
The song has stayed relevant over the years, and with Donald Trump deciding to launch a war against Iran, I decided to create a video to go along with the song.
War: what is it good for? Absolutely nothing. But we don’t seem to have learned.
In other news, my 2025 feature documentary film, How to Save Democracy, is now available to watch! You can stream it on Fandango at Home, Comcast and Cox on Demand, and Vimeo on Demand, and also buy it on Amazon. And come the spring, it’ll be available on Kanopy.
