The Beat Goes On

A joyous and tender celebration of music’s transformative power to transcend barriers, foster connection, and reshape identities. From the rediscovery of prison-recorded music and the creation of a youth orchestra for undocumented families, to the timeless bond between a jazz legend who loses his memory but not his connection to music, and the reimagining of gender-fluid opera performances, these films showcase the enduring rhythm of the human spirit.
