When Voices Meet
(Sharon Katz & Marilyn Cohen, 2015, 86 min, South Africa)

When Nelson Mandela was finally released from prison, courageous South African musicians broke through Apartheid’s barriers to form a 500-voice, multiracial children’s choir. Threatened with bombs and thwarted at every turn, they prevailed and railroaded across the country aboard The Peace Train, singing their way into the hearts, minds and soul of a divided nation.

Speakers: Sharon Katz & Marilyn Cohen, filmmakers

Event Host: Santa Cruz Peace Chorale


1 pm • Calvary Episcopal "Red" Church Parish Hall
