Knowledge is the beginning is a documentary that in essence showcases the power of music. The West-Eastern Divan Orchestra is not only known for beautifully played symphonies. The Orchestra is the musical home to Jewish and Arab musicians, playing the same song side-by-side. They string along to the same tune. Interprete all notes in the way same way.

It’s a story, a symbol, of what could happen on a much grander scale in the Middle East.
