We talk with filmmakers energizing and uplifting story of music, cultural expression and sisterhood. Dawn Mikkelson and Keri Pickett, producer and executive director of TaikoArts Midwest Jennifer Weir and drummer artist Megan Chao-Smith talk about the spiritual art of this thousands-of-years-old Japanese tradition.

Finding Her Beat debuts in Vancouver tomorrow and will be in LA, SF, Boston, New York and other cities in October. 

Finding Her Beat showcases generations of amazing female Taiko drummers who have spent their lives challenging the exclusively male Japanese spiritual tradition.
