Dave Matthews has written and recorded the title song to a new documentary getting its world premiere next month.
The film is called Papertown and it follows about the shutdown of an 115-year-old paper mill in Canton, North Carolina and the "three turbulent months that would gut the town’s economy and shake its identity." The premiere is set for May 22nd at the MountainFilm Festival in Telluride, Colorado.
Matthews says "The movie is stunning. It's heartbreaking, but still so hopeful. It's full of hope, in spite of this class system where the power sits in the hands of far away people, which is so wrong."
Check out the trailer, which includes some of Matthews's song, on YouTube.
