You Got to Move is a 1985 documentary by Lucy Massie Phenix and Veronica Selver that follows people from communities in the Southern United States in their various processes of becoming involved in social change. The film's centerpiece is the Highlander Folk School (now known as Highlander Research and Education Center), a now 89 year-old center for education and social action that was somehow involved in each of the lives chronicled in the documentary.

You Got to Move features folk, country and gospel music from the Southern United States and in fact takes its name from an old spiritual.
