Synopsis
I WISH I KNEW HOW IT WOULD FEEL TO BE FREE
This song was a gift from Nina Simone, "High Priestess of Soul", and
Solomon Burke, "King of Rock'n'Soul", presented to the Swiss public in
1986. It was the chameleonic Bernese artist, Suzanne Baumann, who
brought the duet together at this unique meeting. The song is both
representative of her life-long fight for artistic freedom and a message of
love to our Earth. The documentary "Love song" is a gentle portrayal of a
passionate woman of worlds; her life lived with nature and culture, as a
revolutionary and as a loner. A trip through a slice American music
history and in a world full of small wonders
and big visions.
