Full Plot Details

"Hearing Is Believing", the new feature documentary from award-winning producer/director Lorenzo DeStefano ("Talmage Farlow", "Los Zafiros-Music From The Edge Of Time"), introduces the world to the astonishing young musician and composer, Rachel Flowers. Born 15 weeks premature, at a body weight of one pound five ounces, Rachel lost her eyesight due to Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP). At two she began picking up melodies from her musician parents and was soon playing every song she heard by ear, including Bach fugues. The child had perfect pitch. Starting her formal musical education at the age of 4, Rachel spent the next 10 years studying at the Southern California Conservatory of Music, while completing her mainstream education through elementary, middle, and high school. She was featured in two episodes of 60 Minutes in 2005 & 2008, when she was 12 and 15 years old. DeStefano and his team have created a dynamic and engaging portrait of a year and a half in the life of a tight knit American family, a single mom and her two kids, living paycheck to paycheck in working class Oxnard, California, with Rachel's stunning music as the soundtrack. Hearing is Believing revels in Rachel's joyous and free-flowing love of song, illuminating the bonds of family and the divine mysteries of creativity. Among the great musicians appearing with Rachel in the film are Grammy winners Stevie Wonder, Dweezil Zappa, Arturo Sandoval, two-time Grammy nominated jazz pianist, Taylor Eigsti, the late Progressive Rock icon Keith Emerson, and 50 members of the Santa Barbara Youth Symphony performing Rachel's original composition, "At The End Of The Day". Rachel Flowers is a true survivor, a hyperabled individual whose inspiring story has the potential to be a beacon of hope out there.

Movie Reviews

Los Angeles Times - 7/10 by Kimber MyersHearing Is Believing could have offered more insight into Rachel’s experience, but instead it invests in the action of its title, including long stretches of witnessing Rachel at the piano and on various other instruments.
Common Sense Media - 6/10 by Renee SchonfeldDocu spotlights blind, musically-gifted young woman.
The New York Times - 5/10 by Neil GenzlingerCertainly the journey of Rachel Flowers, a blind musician and composer, is impressive, but Hearing Is Believing, a documentary about her, doesn’t put enough effort into giving her tale depth and context.
User Review - 10/10 by Joshua AThis film introduced me to an astounding young woman who plays piano like Keith Emerson, Herbie Hancock, or Rachmaninoff; guitar like Zappa or Robert Fripp or John McLaughlin; bass like Jaco Pastorius or John Wetton; and several other instruments with equal mastery. More importantly, as a player, vocalist, and composer, Flowers combines her encyclopedic repertoire of classical, jazz, R&B and rock into a completely original, mesmerizing and joyful sound. "Hearing is Believing" is not flashy or melodramatic, but that seems to be the point: to show us how an unassuming young woman from a modest background has faced daunting physical challenges to emerge as a musical tour de force on the global stage.

"Hearing is Believing" is not flashy or melodramatic, but that seems to be the point: to show us how an unassuming young woman has faced daunting physical challenges to emerge as a musical tour de force on the global stage. Perhaps more importantly, Rachel reminds us of the vastness and mystery of human potential.
User Review - 10/10 by Robert SAbsolutely brilliant documentary on absolutely brilliant musician. This is a must see film!
User Review - 10/10 by Rob WA beautiful film documenting Rachel Flowers' progression from child prodigy to amazing young adult musician. Rachel is a multi instrumentalist and composer who deserves everyone's attention. She is at the very beginning of her musical career. She now has a great album called Listen, and you definitely should, and also view this film!
