Downtown DocFest – Opening Gala
Friday March 2, 2012 @ 7:00 p.m.
Belleville International Documentary Film Festival – featuring the award-winning film, Music from the Big House, followed by a live performance by three-time Maple Blues Awards nominee and star of the film, Rita Chiarelli. Music from the Big House has been called a rare and exclusive musical journey. Canadian director Bruce McDonald chronicles Chiarelli’s attempts to arrange a prison concert with an array of men with beautiful voices and ugly pasts. Music from the Big House ends up being a wonderful testament to the power of music, but more than that, it’s a moving and unforgettable exploration of forgiveness and humanity.
