Vicki says: “What is unique about Tirola’s extremely well-crafted documentary is that it is told through interviews, tv footage, letters, home movies and audio clips. It traces from his early life to his protesting the Vietnam War and doesn’t shy away from including his struggles in his personal life. What emerges is a tribute not only to Bernstein’s greatness as a composer, but also to the other passions that fueled this musical giant”s roles as educator, activist and diplomat. You’ll learn that Leonard Bernstein was far more than the conductor of the NY Philharmonic and that his contributions to modern music are endless. 3.5 cats
