Both the Foo Fighters and Gaslight Anthem have lent their music to a new documentary about Hurricane Sandy. The film, titled Beach 119, is from director Marcie Allen, who said she was inspired to make it after hearing survivor stories on social media sites.
"I spotted desperate pleas on social media from dying cell phones in the hours after the storm made landfall. People were cut off from help. No gas, transportation, electricity, food and, in some cases, clothes and imperative medical needs," she wrote in a statement.
She added: "This documentary is to give these survivors a voice to tell their story. Beach 119 is a story of humanity. Strangers came together in a time of need."
The Foo's track "Home" will appear along with Gaslight's "National Anthem." Other contributing artists include the Cary Brothers and Staind guitarist Mike Mushok.
