Documentary: The System

This moving documentary about Venezuela’s unique system of music education takes us from the barrios of Caracas to the world’s finest concert halls. It shows how Venezuelan visionary José Antonio Abreu has changed the lives of hundreds of thousands of children over the past three decades. Children from streets dominated by the gun battles of gang warfare are taken into music schools, given access to music, and through the model of the symphony orchestra taught how to build a better society. Features the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra. In Spanish with English subtitles. 2009; 100 minutes.
