A Jewish Von Trapp-esque family, a fallen pop star, a kiwi troubadour, an Asian Youth Orchestra, a holocaust survivor and a 14 year old Bronx student, along with a bunch of J-pop idols feature in the 2017 DocEdge Documentary Festival which opens this week.
Festival Director Dan Shanan has his picks for the musically inclined.
DocEdge Fest runs 10 - 21 May in Wellington; 24 May - 5 June in Auckland.
