About the film: "Born into a musical family in New York, Alsop set her sights on becoming a conductor at just nine years old while accompanying her father to one of Leonard Bernstein’s Young People’s concerts. Set to a soundtrack of her performances, 'The Conductor' tells Marin’s story through a combination of interviews, professional and private moments, unseen archival footage with her mentor Leonard Bernstein, and scenes from some of the world’s great orchestras."
