More than the story of an instrument, it is a story of people, culture, innovation, resilience, and the music that has connected generations. This first teaser offers only a glimpse of the journey ahead. The feature documentary is currently in production, with principal photography continuing through late 2026. Coming Winter 2028.

Creative Lens Statement From award-winning filmmaker Harun Kazaz, Producer and Director of Rising Wings, Alive in Strings is told from the perspective of the banjo itself—a symbolic witness to American music and memory. While this is a creative lens, the historical foundation is based on thoroughly researched, widely respected sources, including the Smithsonian, National Park Service, and leading scholars of American music and culture. We acknowledge that the banjo’s story—like America’s—is complex, layered, and still evolving. Our goal is not to rewrite history, but to honor it with care, accuracy, and emotional truth.
