About the Project

We pass by them everyday on the subway. Sometimes we drop a dollar. Sometimes we stop and listen. But who are these anonymous musicians that play their hearts out day in and day out for little recognition? BUSKING THE SYSTEM is a documentary that explores the world of subway musicians living and performing in New York City. From inspiring idealism to heartbreaking reality, BUSKING THE SYSTEM puts a spotlight on the musicians that make up the sounds of the underground.
