BERNSTEIN’S WALL
In this enlightening look at one of the
greatest classical music figures of the 20th-Century, director Douglas
Tirola mines a rich trove of interviews, television appearances, home movie
footage, photos, and letters to craft a comprehensive look at Leonard
Bernstein, whose passion and drive took him well beyond the marvelous music
he wrote and conducted. Told in his own voice, Bernstein’s Wall
explores Leonard Bernstein’s journey as an artist and fighter for social
change, who inspired through his work. The
film details Bernstein's personal life and struggles, his unyielding support
for the anti-war and civil rights movements, and his passion for music to paint
a complex portrait of a complex, driven man who produced some of the most
memorable music of his time. (USA, 2021, 105 mins, English | Dir.
