This Academy Award winning film is finally available on video for classroom use. A delightfully warm documentary, Close Harmony is about a senior citizens chorus and an elementary school chorus who join for a combined concert. When the music teacher who works with both groups discovers that the senior citizens become isolated from others by their own organizations and that the youngsters feel that "old people don t like kids", she plans to get the two groups together. First, they become "pen pals", and then comes that exciting day when they meet for the first time. From there on, right through rehearsals and culminating in their concert, a bond forms to create a magical performance. This intergenerational film will move and inspire audiences and break down the stereotypical image of aging
