    • Synopsis
    • A New York music journalist sets out to find the truth behind the tragic disappearance of young Brazilian virtuoso pianist Tenorio Jr.
      While celebrating the world-renowned Latino music movement Bossa Nova, They Shot The Piano Player captures a fleeting period of creative freedom at a turning point in Latin American history in the 1960s and 1970s, just before the continent was engulfed by totalitarian regimes.
