BOUND FOR GLORY is Hal Ashby's recreation of the life of one of America's most talented folk singers, Woody Guthrie. As portrayed by David Carradine, Guthrie is a complex character who strenuously fights for the rights of migrant workers he's never met. The film is breathtakingly photographed by Haskell Wexler and is beautifully fashioned by Ashby to be as much a ballad as Guthrie's songs.
