This short film is included in the following package(s): SHORTS: IF WHAT YOU SAY IS TRUE
In 2016, the League of American Orchestras conducted a study that revealed a shocking statistic: only 1.8% of the professional orchestra workforce in the US is Black. From an old church rec room in the inner city of Los Angeles, former lawyer-turned-conductor Chuck Dickerson is on a mission to change that. Through ICYOLA - The Inner City Youth Orchestra of Los Angeles — the largest majority Black orchestra in the country — Chuck is creating life-changing opportunities for his community that did not previously exist.
THE ORCHESTRA CHUCK BUILT is a loving portrait of a tireless mentor and a testament to the transformative power of music.
