Synopsis
Special that features New Age composers Sam Cardon and Kurt Bestor, who take viewers on a musical and visual exploration of the human need to break through barriers and find innovative ways to solve life's problems. For this concert, Cardon and Bestor created musical portraits of women and men ranging from Albert Schweitzer and Stephen Hawking to C.M. Hatfield, the first "rainmaker," and Chai Ling, a leader of the student uprisings in Tiananmen Square. Also celebrated are the efforts of unnamed innovators, including the citizens who created a "third spring" by tearing down the Berlin Wall, and those who seek to protect the children of war-torn countries.
