THE SOUND OF US
WONDERLANDS | BAY AREA PREMIERE

In this galvanizing exploration of music, Grammy® nominated director Chris Gero takes viewers on a voyage into the unifying power of sound and rhythm. Through a collection of interviews, performances, and personal narratives, artists from around the globe illuminate the question of what music is to them by revealing it to be a means of communication, expression, and remembrance.

Music connects us to the universe, our souls humming in unison with the vibrations emitted from the stars. In the face of grief, injustice, oppression, and hardship, music carries individuals through and inspires hope in the darkness.
