Music and Politics

In a discussion with Daniel Barenboim Edward Said once said: “It has become quite rare to project one’s self outward, to have a broader perspective”. Daniel Barenboim, constantly trying to find out what music can achieve and how it can inspire mankind, is certainly able to do just that. This documentary gives an insight into the social meaning of music. It is featuring the UN Messenger of Peace Daniel Barenboim leading a spectacular concert in Gaza in May 2011, working with the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra and discussing about music and politics.
