Following the Ninth is a documentary film about the global\nimpact of Beethoven’s final symphony. The film\, released in mid-2013\, has\nscreened in over 250 cities in the United States and around the globe.
Written in 1824\, near the end of Beethoven's life\, the Ninth\nSymphony was composed by a man with little to be thankful for. Sick\,\nalienated from almost everyone\, and completely deaf\, Beethoven had never\nmanaged to find love\, nor create the family he’d always wanted. And yet\,\ndespite this\, he managed to create an anthem of joy that embraces the transcendence\nof beauty over suffering.
Celebrated to this day for its ability to heal\, repair\, and\nbring people together across great divides\, the Ninth has become an anthem of\nliberation and hope that has inspired many around the world:
 \; \; \; At Tiananmen\nSquare in 1989\, students played the Ninth over loudspeakers as the army\ncame in to crush their struggle for freedom.
 \; \; \; In Chile\, women\nliving under the Pinochet dictatorship sang the Ninth at torture prisons\, where\nmen inside took hope when they heard their voices.
 \; \; \; As the Berlin Wall\ncame down in December 1989\, it collapsed to the sound of Leonard Bernstein\nconducting Beethoven’s Ninth as an “Ode To Freedom.”
 \; \;  \;In Japan each December\, the Ninth is performed\nhundreds of times\, often with 10\,000 people in the chorus. Following the Ninth\ngives us insight into the heightened importance of this massive communal Ninth\,\nknown as “Daiku\,” in the aftermath of the earthquake and tsunami of 2011.
