(ITA) “Song For Hope” è l'incredibile storia di Ryan Anthony, la famosa tromba principale dei Canadian Brass e della Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Nonostante gli sia stato diagnosticato un raro cancro del sangue terminale e gli sono stati dati solo pochi mesi di vita, Ryan e sua moglie, Niki, hanno fondato un ente di beneficenza chiamato "CancerBlows" che organizza grandi concerti musicali con i più grandi trombettisti del mondo, raccogliendo milioni per la ricerca sul cancro e aiutando Ryan per vivere (e suonare!) per altri otto anni! Durante quel periodo, mentre era in cura, ha scalato il Monte Fuji con il suo oncologo per raccogliere ulteriori fondi e sensibilizzazione per la sua malattia, interpretando Amazing Grace in vetta al sorgere del sole. "Song For Hope" è una storia sul vivere la vita al massimo, sulla forza incrollabile e sul sostegno di famiglia e amici e sul rifiuto di un uomo di permettere che la sua afflizione influisca sul suo amore per la sua arte.

Despite being diagnosed with a rare, terminal blood cancer and given just months to live, Ryan and his wife, Niki, started a charity called “CancerBlows” which organizes huge music concerts with the world’s greatest trumpet players, raising millions for cancer research and helping Ryan to live (and play!) for a further eight years! During that time, while undergoing treatment, he climbed Mt. Fuji with his oncologist to raise further funds and awareness for his disease, playing Amazing Grace at the summit as the sun rose. "Song For Hope" is a story about living life to the fullest, about the unwavering strength and support of family and friends and about one man’s refusal to allow his affliction to affect his love of his art.
