Two-time Academy Award winner Meryl Streep (One True Thing) stars with Angela Bassett (How Stella Got Her Groove Back) in a heartwarming acclaimed true story of how one woman's musical gift affected those who least expected it. A single mother with little more than talent and the determination to make a difference Roberta Guaspari (Streep) overcame the scepticism of everyone who didn't think she should be teaching violin to students in a tough inner-city neighborhood. But even after a decade of ever-growing popularity and countless success stories Roberta and her kids must rise to meet an even greater challenge: budget cuts aimed at shutting down her valuable program for good! Also starring Aidan Quinn (Practical Magic) and Grammy-winner Gloria Estefan in a stellar cast this extraordinary story will inspire anyone who's ever thought their dreams were too far out of reach.
