From Academy Award-winning director Morgan Neville (Twenty Feet from Stardom), this new documentary is a joyous celebration of the power of music to cross boundaries and bring people together. It’s the story of how the great cellist Yo-Yo Ma, inspired by his curiosity about the world and eagerness to forge connections, founded the Silk Road Ensemble in 2000, bringing together innovative performers and composers representing traditions from around the world. Meet Wu Man, master of the Chinese pipa; Damascus-born clarinetist Kinan Azmeh; Iranian exile Kayhan Kalhor, who plays the kamancheh; the ebullient bagpiper Cristina Pato, “the Jimi Hendrix of Galicia,” and others—and revel in their collective outpouring of musical exploration, innovation, and beauty.
