Documentary on Arte - Soweto Strings - Monday 17 Aug at 23h10

thanks to Telerama for advance notice of this documentary on Rosemary Nalden's music school, Buskaid, set up in Soweto in 1997. Film by Mark Kidel. Includes three years of footage, archives and a visit of the school's String Orchestra to Paris in 2007. Excerpt from the Telerama article: "Bouleversant, son documentaire ne cesse d'illustrer hors champ l'existence quotidienne de la township. Un enfer adouci par une musicienne d'exception, sans laquelle ces gamins seraient perdus à jamais." (Eléonore Colin- Telerama).
