I reported abuse as comments made by an angry person who has no idea of the importance of this film. Paul Smaczny kindly sent me a copy of the DVD months ago, as here in Mexico, we start the program using the model of El System.
Instead of one opinion, I can only urge those who have already seen tocar y Lucha, Gustavo Dudamel have heard or seen, or read the genius of José Antonio Abreu, founder of El System to buy this most excellent documentary fluctuations. This model for the entire planet was beautiful and poetic captured by Euro Arts Stodmeier Smaczny Mary and Paul, already a master at producing videos of classical music.
But the real stars are the kids who talk like old souls. . . who see the importance of membership of an orchestra and a more spiritual life lesson.
That the project has saved thousands of underprivileged children from a life without hope, produced Gustavo Dudamel and the Simón Bolívar Youth Orchestra to name but a few of the many talented musicians, all discounts on all negativity with an ax to grind would may have.
I did this documentary by many friends, and the reaction was the same, when and where can we buy? Now you can. . . and order now before it is exhausted. The world is watching.

El education system is the most important of the world music program. Governments and music teachers in the same way in search of its structure and development in an attempt to have their success in terms of both music and human welfare. Graduates of this program are likely to play in an orchestra in the world as they are to return to the slums of Venezuela. A tribute to exceptional Abreau, Dudamel and the people of Venezuela!

I can not comment on the ‘inside’ as a customer reviewer Linda McDougall ago – Read his review! – But I wanted my full enthusiasm for this DVD to add. As the conductor Gustavo Dudamel exploded onto the international scene of classical music, there was mounting curiosity and interest in El System and its founder Jose Antonio Abreu. This documentary, made with love by one of the best music documentary, Smaczny Paul and his companion Mary Stodtmeier appears out of nowhere, like El system works. It leads us into the houses, rehearsal rooms and the lives of children involved in learning to play music through the program, and usually in their own words, shows us what a powerful force of the program. There are many clips Abreu his ideas about the importance of music in the lives of children, to explain, not only for the specific purpose of learning to play an instrument, but also how to learn discipline and cooperation. The children themselves are wonderful ambassadors for the program because we can see how it changes their life positively.
I enthusiastically recommend the DVD for lovers of classical music that despair the future of classical music, and everyone can have one day of admission were similar in that they are now spread over the world.

So far I have not seen the documentary, but filmmakers and musicians behind the process is worth knowing its contents. No doubt you can successfully confuse the unwary critic of the “system” propaganda of the government of Venezuela, but I must warn you that this process was initiated in 1975 with the possibility of José Antonio Abreu was a utopia that seeks, through through music, please build social work with young people of Venezuela. It is true that the Venezuelan government supports several million dollars for the program of the “orchestra”, but it was five or six successive governments of several current trends that have contributed to young Venezuelans to music, amateur and professional play, but rather spend their time on activities other than crime, because the participants are usually the poorest areas of Venezuela.
would be appropriate to this film with others of similar nature are already in the DVD market to compare.

This is pure propaganda enemy. The communist government of Venezuela and its leader Hugo Chavez has funded this probably stupid. Venezuela is today worse than before. No freedom “no progress. This is communist propaganda. Do NOT buy this product.
