Sage Francis: Life Is Easy
A feature documentary and concert film, LIFE IS EASY [1968 - 2005] (Released 2005, on Strange Famous Records) chronicles the life and performance art of the influential and innovative "godfather of indie-hop." (The Guardian) Rapper, activist, and poet, Sage Francis, moves through the unforgiving rawness of what life is like on the fringe of an entire culture and adapts to the changing musical structure devoid of former industry gods and movers and shakers, while making a name for himself and ushering in a new language and attitude in rap and hip-hop. In the backdrop: a crumbling music industry, and in the foreground: conscious, politically charged, and universally resonant lyrics and performances captured through various lenses as Sage takes it all head-on.

Reviews
It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
