I thought someone had posted about this already, but couldn't find it...

https://www.cbc.ca/radio/asith...-proudfoot-1.7092743

streaming on Disney+

"The small but mighty group of people who painstakingly repair musical instruments for tens of thousands of public school students in Los Angeles aren't used to being in the spotlight.

But a new documentary is bringing their stories — and those of the kids whose lives they have changed for the better — to the red carpet.

In their Oscar-nominated film The Last Repair Shop, Halifax native Ben Proudfoot and L.A.'s Kris Bowers tell the story of the L.A. Unified School District's Musical Instrument Repair Shop, where 11 technicians service about 6,000 instruments each year for more than 1,300 schools across the city."
