Peace Through Music – Playing For Change

[I am having problems embedding video on this blog. To view the clip go here. Hopefully I'll solve the problem later today.]

Peace Through Music is a story of hope, struggle, perseverance and joy. Directors Mark Johnson and Jonathan Walls, along with the Playing For Change team, travelled the globe with a single minded passion to connect the world through music.

Their ambitious journey took them from post-apartheid South Africa, through the ancient sites of the Middle East, to the remote beauty of the Himalayas and beyond. Using innovative mobile technology, they filmed and recorded more than 100 musicians, largely outdoors in parks, plazas and promenades, in doorways, on cobblestone streets and amid hilly pueblos.

Each captured performance creates a new mix in which essentially the artists are all performing together, albeit hundreds or thousands of miles apart. Playing For Change: Peace Through Music is the story of this unparalleled international musical collaboration and its remarkable power of redemption.

All the DVD movies I have listed on this blog at the time of writing this post are listed for sale on my eBay site but once sold I will not be taking the trailers down.

Also, I will list movies and upload trailers for new releases and older releases that I have enjoyed. If you are selling DVDs and your title is listed on this blog why not link to the trailer and give your listing an edge.

Eventually there will be hundreds of movie descriptions and trailers posted here.
