Over the course of five years, Música! follows four young Cubans who view music as a way of life. Through music, they hope to find success and fulfillment, some choosing to remain in Cuba, and some seeking to venture out into the world beyond. A touching and personal portrait of four young musicians driven by their commitment and passion for the art. Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman have been making films together since 1987. Their first film was Common Threads: Stories from the Quilt. The film won the Academy Award in 1990 for Best Documentary Feature and a Peabody Award. The pair also won an Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature for The Times of Harvey Milk and a Grammy Award for their documentary Linda Ronstadt: The Sound of My Voice. The Celluloid Closet was another award-winning documentary from the two filmmakers.
