Playing For Change - Peace Through Music

Young film maker Mark Johnson began his project on a street corner watching a musician play his version "Stand By Me". He approached the man, asking him if he could set up a camera and sound equipment to record his performance.

His plan was to take this man's song around the world repeating the process, then editing the clips into one seamless film, symbolically uniting the world through song. That was ten years ago.

The result is truly inspirational and uplifting as seen in this wonderful segment of the Bill Moyers interview:

Prepare to feel hopeful.
Expect to realize that a common thread runs through us all, regardless of where we live or our politics.

One song, one love, a cast of many.

I'd like to adopt Grandpa Elliott.....so many talented people.
