Beethoven's Nine: Ode to Humanity

In early 2023, filmmaker Larry Weinstein set out to make a documentary about Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. Beethoven’s Nine: Ode to Humanity is about music, war, and hope. It follows nine unique individuals including Ukrainian musicians, a deaf composer, a Polish rock star, a best-selling author, a legendary cartoonist, and Weinstein himself.
