Beethoven's Nine: Ode to Humanity
Register at www.fsolph.org/events/ today to join the Sisters and other Franciscans For Earth on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, from 6:30 to 8 pm Central via Zoom, for a free screening and discussion of the film Beethoven’s 9: Ode to Humanity. Following the film, there will be a short amount of time for an open discussion of this deeply personal exploration of the legacy and resonance today of Beethoven’s 200-year-old Ninth Symphony.
According to the distributor, Bullfrog Films’ website, “In early 2023, filmmaker Larry Weinstein sets out to make a documentary about Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony. It is supposed to be about how far we have come in the two hundred years since it was written. But when world events pull Larry into his own film, the question becomes a deeply personal one. Beethoven’s 9 is a documentary about music, but also about war and hope. It follows nine unique individuals, including Ukrainian musicians, a deaf composer, a Polish rock star, a best-selling author, a legendary cartoonist and Weinstein himself, as they try to better understand the legacy of Beethoven’s Ninth, the composer’s own struggles, the inspiration music can provide, and how humanity continues to look for hope even in the darkest times.”
