Crescendo! The Power of Music

Documentary - 2014 - USA - English, Spanish - 85 minutes

The film follows 3 kids (one in Harlem and two in Philadelphia) who are at schools that have instituted El Sistema, the music program originated in Venezuela, designed to bring music, discipline and a positive trajectory to children living in low income areas. The results are actually startling in this very moving film directed by Jamie Bernstein.
