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.

Вымышленная история о шахтерах цинковых рудников в Нью-Мексико, борющихся против английского владычества. Вся съемочная группа была занесена в «черный» список и изгнана из Голливуда за подрывную коммунистическую деятельность. Это и послужило поводом для создания фильма. Особенно широко фильм демонстрировался в Европе, а в Америке его обходили стороной. В результате картина выступила как мощная и продуманная левая пропаганда, и даже не смотря на то, что некоторые сцены кажутся устаревшими, фильм смотрится злободневным и пол века спустя.
