Synopsis

This 3-part musical odyssey features Montreal musician Alden Penner and Algerian refugee Abdelkader Belaouni, who is confined to his church-based sanctuary. Joining the two is a cast of music makers and co-conspirators. Their choreographed street rebellion becomes a poignant treatise on the meaning and political import of movement. Part of Making Music 2007, a program for emerging filmmakers, produced in association with the Pop Montreal festival.
