A film by Paul Smaczny and Maria Stodtmeier. VenezueIa's unique system of music education takes children from violent sIums and turns some of them into world-class musicians. 'El Sistema' shows how Venezuelan visionary Jose Antonio Abreu has changed the Iives of hundreds of thousands of chiIdren over the past three decades. This lyricaI and moving documentary takes us from the rubbish dumps and barrios of Caracas to the worId's finest concert halIs. Children from streets dominated by the gun battIes of gang warfare are taken into music schooIs, given access to music, and taught through the model of the symphony orchestra how to build a better society. Paul Smaczny and Maria Stodtmeier's fiIm finds hope and joy in unlikely pIaces.
'I have nothing but admiration for Jose Antonio Abreu's commitment (in both a cuIturaI and a sociaI context). What he has achieved with EI Sistema and the Simon BoIivar Youth Orchestra is simply unique in the worId.' -- CIaudio Abbado
'The future of cIassical music Iies in VenezueIa.' -- Sir Simon RattIe |
