PABLO CASALS: A CRY FOR PEACE
85-minutes
An intimate and illuminating biography of the life, work and life-long dedication to world peace, of the greatest cellist of the 20th century, told in his own words.
In 1936 Pablo Casals silenced his cello and baton and went into self-imposed exile. His silence served as a moral protest against all fascist governments and war. But the world would not accept his silence and, in 1950, he was persuaded to break his silence and dedicated himself to performing only for the cause of world peace.
