The Last Repair Shop
Directed by Ben Proudfoot, Kris Bowers
Produced by Breakwater Studios, LA Times Studios
A tender documentary portrait of dedicated craftspeople whose personal resilience and commitment to repair—both of instruments and lives—sustains music education for underserved children.
In a warehouse in the heart of Los Angeles, a dwindling handful of devoted craftspeople maintain more than 80,000 student musical instruments, the largest remaining workshop in America of its kind. Meet four unforgettable characters whose broken-and-repaired lives have been dedicated to bringing so much more than music to the schoolchildren of this city.
