“Playing for Change: Peace Through Music” takes viewers around the world—from North America to Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and back again—with musicians and singers merging their music into an inspirational tapestry with such songs as “Stand By Me,” “One Love,” “War/No More Trouble,” and many more, all with the idea of bringing peace to the world through music.
PBS television host Bill Moyers calls “Playing for Change” a remarkable example of “the simple yet transformative power of music.” The film was produced over several years with a mobile recording studio and cameras. More information is available at http://www.playingforchange.com.
