In a warehouse in the heart of Los Angeles, a dwindling handful of devoted craftspeople maintain more than 80,000 student musical instruments, the largest remaining workshop in America of its kind. Meet four unforgettable characters whose broken-and-repaired lives have been dedicated to bringing so much more than music to the schoolchildren of this city.

Getting to see the technicians from each department, felt like I was watching them get their pictures taken for the yearbook <3 Except, I guess it's more like they get to have full magazine profiles since we also get deep dives into how they found themselves working for the shop, but you know what I meannnn

If you've ever wondered, what's the purpose of art especially in this day and age where everything seems to be leaning towards slop or everything is being slop-ified by AI, i think this would bring should show you what art and music does when you zoom into it. Human connection, hope, love and dedication. Tech seems to be what's hot and what's trending but art is the core of humanity, it's what we are meant to do. I would also recommend What Art Does by Brian Eno and Bette Adriaanse, i think both of these are great pieces of work that can restore hope for the arts (I hope). Every single tear I shed while watching this was worth it. This is why no matter what I do, art still feels superior.
