PBS at the TV Critics Press Tour | Lear/Johnson interview

Norman Lear and filmmaker Mark Johnson are interviewed by video blogger Zadi Diaz (www.epicfu.com) as part of PBS's coverage of the 2009 Television Critics Association Press Tour (Aug 1-2, 2009). Both Lear and Johnson are with the documentary PLAYING FOR CHANGE: PEACE THROUGH MUSIC.

Playing for Change is a multimedia effort to unite musicians and vocalists from diverse parts of the globe while seeking to immerse audiences in a movement to inspire, connect and bring peace to the world through music. Using mobile audio/video units, technicians traveled the world, recording local musicians outdoors in towns and cities worldwide. In addition, musicians from all over the world are now brought together to perform benefit concerts that build music and art schools in communities in need. PLAYING FOR CHANGE: PEACE THROUGH MUSIC is part of special programming airing on PBS stations in August 2009 (check local listings at http://www.pbs.org/tvschedules
