DVD, IMAGE

"Up Where We Belong" features Buffy Sainte-Marie in concert, along with aboriginal singing groups Red Bull and Stoney Park, twice world-champion powwow singers from Alberta, Canada. Sainte-Marie sings hits, which she also wrote, ranging from protest anthems to classic love songs. Although she won an Academy Award for the song "Up Where We Belong," a hit for Jennifer Warnes and Joe Cocker, Sainte-Marie only recently recorded it herself. A Renaissance woman, Sainte-Marie is fiercely proud of her native heritage and has always celebrated the power of fire and drums. This show touches on many aspects of the life and music of this singer, songwriter, artist, activist and scholar.
