THEME 

This series draws us in for a closer look at the ways and means of expression... and the ripples they create.  

​

The need to express ourselves has given rise to writers, vocalists, artists, country leaders, artists and activists.  Their tools take many forms including the human voice, the written word, musical compositions and the instruments that bring them to life and the filmmaker's lens.  From these, come ripples that inspire, unite, protect, persuade, agitate and transform.
