KEEPER OF THE FLAME

KEEPER OF THE FLAME follows the life and work of human rights activist Jack Healey. Working for a decade as the director of Amnesty International USA, Healey played a major role in bringing human rights awareness to a televised national and international audience through the fusing of popular music and activism, collaborating with the likes of Peter Gabriel, Sting, and Wynton Marsalis. Tracking Healey's activism back to the civil rights movement, the film lays the groundwork for his lifelong commitment to advocating for human rights. Learning from and working with mentors Dick Gregory, Fannie Lou Hamer, Father James Groppi, and John Lewis, Healey's activist spirit has continued and strengthened through the decades.
