American Symphony chronicles the emotional heights and depths that follow, creating a narrative that’s part love story, and part exploration of the processes and motivations behind two incredible creatives.“American Symphony” is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, the power of music, and the unwavering belief in one’s dreams. It is a film that will resonate with anyone who has ever faced adversity or struggled to find their place in the world.
And the truth is it’s still kind of unfathomable after watching “American Symphony.” Despite more than enough positive messaging and moving material to justify a look on Netflix, there’s an increasing sense of guardedness as Batiste and Jaouad’s story progresses into its more intense chapters. We don’t really get a full grip on the artistic process of the creation of the symphony or the fear that comes with fighting cancer.
