LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Scientology Network's DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE, the weekly series providing a platform for independent filmmakers to air films on important social, cultural and environmental issues, presents the documentary The Bowmakers.
DOCUMENTARY SHOWCASE airs Fridays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Scientology Network.
The Bowmakers is an eye-opening account on the surprising significance of the bow. Hailed by experts as an instrument in itself, the bow is critical in shaping the sound of even the world's finest stringed instruments. Going from the workshops of the few remaining masters to the forests of Brazil, where the trees from which the finest bows are made, the film celebrates the value of the old-world craftsmanship and the importance of passing on the secrets to a new generation.
Directed by Ward Serrill, The Bowmakers illuminates the importance of communities working together in creating the world's most timeless music—from the farmers who harvest the wood and craftsmen who spend years perfecting the techniques to musicians and composers who strive to express the full range of colors from the instruments.
