Of the three finalists in the Music category, HEAR US is the only one that is from the United States.
The program is a docudrama about young musicians who met online and later came together–despite incredible obstacles–to perform amazing concerts and inspire the world with their message of peace through music.
HEAR US was produced by Hold the Frog Productions in association with Craig Miller Productions and was directed by Takashi Doscher (A FIGHTING CHANCE and MOON SHINE STILL). Shot on location in Italy, Germany, France, and the United States, it stars Clarissa Bevilacqua, Rada Hanana, Daniel Kaler, Steven Jarvi, and Bradley Harris.
