US PREMIERE The Ballymun housing estate in Dublin, Ireland has a reputation for failure. Six of its seven high-rise towers have been demolished. Yet music teacher Ron Cooney never gave up on the area’s youth. He enlists a composer to create a world-class collection of music for students to perform and to overturn negative views of the area. Despite his own health problems, Cooney leads the music program to unexpected heights that will send viewers soaring.
