Black and white footage of performances, interviews, and conversations at the Newport Folk Festival, from 1963 to 1966. The headliners are Peter, Paul and Mary, Joan Baez, Pete Seeger, and Bob Dylan, who's acoustic and electric. Son House and Mike Bloomfield talk about the blues; John Hurt, Howlin' Wolf, and Sonny Terry and Brownie McGhee show its range. The Osborne Brothers perform bluegrass. Donovan, Johnny Cash, Judy Collins, Mimi and Dick Farina, and others less well known also perform. Several talk musical philosophy, and there's a running commentary about the nature and appeal of folk music. The crowd looks clean cut.

Night Journey, the dance, had its premiere only two and a half years after Appalachian Spring, and it is a close cousin. It too has a stream-of-consciousness narration: Jocasta, as she is about to kill herself, remembering what has happened to her. It too contains soul-delving solos, broken up by ensemble dances. Here, however, the ensemble is a darker element. As the story was taken from Greek tragedy, so the corps is the equivalent of Greek tragedy’s chorus. They tell us how to feel: afraid mostly. In this piece Graham pushed her habitual economy to its limits.

Unos mineros de Nuevo México van a la huelga tras una serie de incidentes, librando una dura y amarga batalla en la que recibirán el apoyo de sus mujeres. Controvertido melodrama semidocumental en el que intervienen personajes auténticos, y que tuvo innumerables problemas durante y después del rodaje; el director, el productor, es guionista, el compositor y el actor Will Geer estaban, en aquella época, en la "lista negra" del comité de actividades antiamericanas del senador McCarthy. Hoy en día "Salt of the Earth" es uno de los pocos films preservados por la Librería del Congreso de los Estados Unidos por su importancia histórica y cultural.
