Knowledge is the Beginning is the story of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra, whose idea was conceived in 1999 in the minds of Israeli musician Daniel Barenboim and Palestinian intellectual Edward Said. It is a film about the way music can transcend cultural barriers, bring people together, defeat prejudice and overcome religious and political differences. The orchestra combines musical study and development with the sharing of knowledge and comprehension between people from cultures that traditionally are perceived as rivals.
Daniel Barenboim is one of the most prominent musicians of the twentieth century. In a shocking announcement earlier this month, he declared that he had accepted Palestinian citizenship, becoming the first celebrity to hold both Israeli and Palestinian passports.
