"the simple yet transformative power of music... to touch something in each of us." --Bill Moyers
"a great showcase for just what incredible, thoroughly accessible popular music is being made worldwide."--Variety
This remarkable film is a change of pace from our usual selections. But we should not neglect the power of music in the grand scheme of the universe. And at this time of much
disappointment for the peace community, the mood is upbeat and optimistic.
