From the organizers: Freedom Needs a Soundtrack is a narrative podcast and cultural strategy project rooted in the belief that stories fuel movements. Launching on the 30th anniversary of the Tibetan Freedom Concerts, the project blends behind-the-scenes history with a bold new story collection effort that invites people to share how music, protest, and personal turning points have shaped their path to activism. Through a Story Sharing Hotline, live events, merch drops, music playlists and digital storytelling, we’re building a collective time capsule of the personal experiences that inspire and sustain movements—past, present, and future.
