Cultures in the Crossfade

A 3-part docuseries using music to explore political and cultural polarization in three US cities. In each city, two musicians from different cultural and musical backgrounds come together in an improvised performance and dialogue. Where do they connect? How do they listen across their differences? Can music be a model for bridging divides? Directed by Matthew Beighley. Cinematography by Salvador Ochoa.
