Documentary filmmaker David Zucker explores the ways in which music can bring people together to partake in a common experience - even in places where material resources are sorely lacking - in this profile of Brazilian-based musician Jair Rezende. Rezende is a member of the band Lactomia. The band has hit a major social chord in his community of Candeal, and their unique approach of using recycled materials to create music has inspired local children to pursue their dreams regardless of the obstacles that may stand in their way. The children of Candeal flock to Rezende, proving that it's always possible to achieve your goals, no matter how lofty they may seem, through innovation and creativity. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Director David Zucker explores the means by which visual artists in Salvador, Brazil use whatever means are at their disposal to craft a cultural mosaic on the city streets. In brining art to the people of the city, "street interference art" summons the same kind of energy and creativity as Lactomia's found object music. Traditional Brazilian rhythms are translated visually by professional artists, community leaders, local children, and even the parish priest in a creative response to the pollution, graffiti, advertising, and poverty that surrounds the people who spend their entire lives in the city. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
