BUYING ADVISORY: EL, MS - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Eight Refugees share a boat, adrift in the middle of the night. One is a young boy with a violin. To keep everyone's spirits up (and to keep their fear at bay) Rami, plays his violin - his only possession, while he tells the story of a beautiful, wild, white horse.
The power of music and story bring people together. Although they were strangers (except for the small family) they all could relate to the experience on different levels. Touching briefly on their circumstances - why they are escaping - this is a story about resilience and hope.
