| Summary |
This documentary explores the extraordinary harmony between music and violence. Sesame Street composer Christopher Cerf always wanted his music to be fun and entertaining. After learning that his songs had been used to torture prisoners in Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib he is stunned by this abuse of his work and decides to embark on a journey to learn what makes music such a powerful stimulant. In the process, Cerf speaks to soldiers, psychologists and prisoners tortured with his music at Guantanamo and discovers that the military has been employing music as a potent weapon for hundreds of years.
