A musical short film blending editorial moments with vulnerable interviews, "WE ARE" peeks behind the curtain at pianist, band leader, philosopher, and activist Jon Batiste's highly anticipated album, WE ARE, as he walks the audience through four themes: Lineage, Authenticity, Excellence, and Evolution. Jon has recently won a Golden Globe and BAFTA award for his work in scoring Pixar's "Soul," and has also been nominated for Oscar, Grammy, and Emmy awards.
