Zusammenfassung:Knowledge is the Beginning tells the story of the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra where Arab and Jewish young people are sitting side by side. It illustrates how prejudices are surmounted during the rehearsals, the concerts and the laid-back celebrations afterward. It also demonstrates what problems crop up and how music can help people of different views find common ground. The film traces the orchestra's complete history from 1999 until today.

For the founder of the ensemble, Daniel Barenboim, the orchestra is a metaphor for what could be achieved in the Middle East
