“Our aim is to tell stories that entertain and inspire”
GreenBox's first documentary, The Music Lesson, tells the story of two groups of young people from extraordinarily different backgrounds as they use the power of music to discover each other's worlds. Ten classicvally trained students from the Boston Youth Symphony Orchestra traveled across the world for a life-changing cultural exchange with a group of students from Laikipia, Kenya, whose tribal elders have passed down the tradition of singing, dancing and playing music for centuries.
Current documentary projects include development of a TV series, hosted by a young, accomplished anthropologist, which takes a look at important issues that cut across cultural and geographic lines. She brings a fresh, unique perspective to the series, which will appeal to audiences of all ages.
Another project in development investigates the complicated, shameful, and often perilous state of foster care in America. This documentary will open up viewers' eyes to a large population of children in America who, too often, have not had anyone speaking up for them.
