The award-winning documentary “Playing for Change: Peace Through Music,” lands at Calhoun this January after its whirlwind tour of film festivals and benefit concerts.  “Playing for Change” is more than just a film, it is an exciting multimedia movement created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music.

After creating a portable recording studio, filmmaker Mark Johnson visited countless countries around the globe to facilitate cross-continental collaboration on songs like “Stand by Me” and Bob Marley’s “One World.”  The ongoing endeavor has featured more than 100 artists from around the world performing “together;” the documentary is a celebration of how music can unite the world.
