Following the Ninth: In the Footsteps of Beethoven's Final Symphony

Following The Ninth: In The Footsteps of Beethoven's Final Symphony, is a documentary film taking us on a cinematic journey across five continents and into the heart and soul of one of the world's greatest works of art.

Completely deaf and adrift from the people he loved, Ludwig van Beethoven composed his Ninth Symphony as an act of transcendence near the end of his life, in 1824. Looking into his own abyss, Beethoven wrote his Ode to Joy for himself, for the people of his day, and for all generations to come.
