THE SECRET SONG is an immersive view into the final chapter of Doug Goodkin’s 45-year career, teaching music to children in San Francisco. In what could have been a celebratory victory lap, the veteran teacher finds his efforts to instill community, self-confidence and cultural connectivity interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. When classrooms across the world are shuttered, Goodkin and his students surmount adversity through the sense of belonging nurtured by a remarkable music program.
