Revolution Green
Synopsis
Intangible Asset Number 82 tells the story of respected jazz drummer Simon Barker and his search for an elusive South Korean shaman and grandmaster musician. Simon’s journey becomes a rite of passage as he encounters engaging and exotic characters, and overcomes cultural obstacles and the march of time, to eventually meet the master only days before his death.
We bear witness to the aesthetic and philosophical explorations one musician undertakes in search of the tools of self-expression, and the personal discoveries and transformations that result from the inspiration found along the journey.
The documentary is filmed observationally, and utilizes stylized elements to create a layered story that showcases music as a universal language.
