“Strangers” offers an inspiring look at creative people from very different walks of life who nonetheless communicate beautifully with one another. They don’t need to speak a common language: Their dazzling music says it all.” – Washington Post

“What drives the narrative is the musicians’ mutual desire to forge meaningful connections across cultures, an affirmative answer to Leonard Bernstein’s question of whether music can truly serve as a “universal language.” – Chicago Reader

“An irresistible kaleidoscope of music and good fellowship…” – Seattle Times

“A highly-polished, musically delightful portrait” – The Hollywood Reporter

From filmmaker Morgan Neville, the director of the Oscar-winning documentary “20 Feet from Stardom,” comes the extraordinary story of the renowned international musical collective, The Silk Road Ensemble, created by legendary cellist Yo-Yo Ma.
