an interview with Michael Franti
Tonight is the screening of Michael Franti’s documentary “I Know I’m Not Alone” at Center for the Arts. The movie follows his trip to Baghdad, Israel and Palestine in 2004, when he and a group of friends set out to explore the war zones armed only with video cameras and a guitar.
Here is an excerpt from our interview with Franti, in which he talks about his motivation for going to the Middle East and recounts his first attempt at snowboarding in Jackson Hole.
We will be showing this interview tonight before the film, as well as a special message from Franti to the audience. Showtime is 7 p.m. Doors will open at 6, and pizza and beer will be available for purchase.
Tickets cost $10. Proceeds will benefit the Middle East Children’s Alliance, a charity Franti supports that is working to make peace in the Middle East by improving the lives of kids. Click here to purchase tickets.
On Saturday, Franti and Spearhead came to Teton Village to share the gift of music. Here’s our chance to return the love.
