That Orchestra with the Broken Instruments

79 min

Distributed by Rising Sun Media

A moving documentary film, told in three languages. From broken strings to fleeting harmony, an unlikely orchestra using unlikely instruments successfully defies the odds in Jerusalem, and proves - if only for a short moment - that there is a chance for a better future. Broken and discarded musical instruments, dented brass, rusting valves. One conductor, three composers, and a hundred musicians—young and old, professional and amateur, from different languages and worlds—gather in Jerusalem. Four days of rehearsals, against every obstacle, to create a single, one-time concert. In their music, fractured instruments and fractured lives find a fragile, fleeting harmony—a glimpse of hope. The film is presented in its original Hebrew, Arabic and English language, with optional English language captions/subtitles.
