Sinopsis(1)

Promises to Keep follows agitator Snyder and the Community for Creative Non-Violence by showing film-fragments, news-bulletin images from records, and newspaper headlines. The film starts off with a broken promise by the federal government to provide the homeless of Washington D.C. with proper shelter. For Snyder, this is the beginning of a hard and lengthy period of sit- ins, hunger-strikes, and TV-discussions, in the hope that he can thus force the government to live up to their promise. After four years of fighting bureaucracy the promise is finally fulfilled. (International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam)
