Friday, July 31st, 2009

Monday, August 3 at 10 p.m., WLIW21 premieres the new documentary Playing for Change: Peace Through Music, which tells the story of an unparalleled international musical collaboration and its remarkable power of redemption. Filmmakers traveled the world recording local musicians, including collaborations with Keb’ Mo’, Bono and Bob Marley, to inspire peace through music and to connect diverse musicians worldwide–especially those in regions of conflict. Songs include “One Love,” “Stand By Me” and “Love Rescue Me.”

Watch a video of Bob Marley’s “One Love,” performed by Keb’ Mo’ and musicians from India, Israel, Nepal, South Africa and Zimbabwe:
