"Some Kind of Spark" follows students from practice rooms to stages, inside the classroom and at home. By painting a deeply-intimate portrait of the students' lives, highlighting their struggles to do well in school and in the program, and allowing them to tell their own stories, "Some Kind of Spark" illuminates the universal challenges faced by students and educators in poor communities worldwide.

By resonating across borders, ethnicities, genders, and classes, the film is uniquely positioned to quietly, but effectively, speak to these pressing contemporary social issues.
