Sometimes music can change the world.

Synopsis

With number one records in over 30 countries, sold out international tours, and 22 Grammy Awards, U2 are the biggest rock band in the world today.

What is it about these four musicians from Dublin that inspires such support?

Meet Me In the Sound is a documentary that looks at U2's appeal in diverse countries such as Brazil, Poland, Canada, Ireland, Mexico, Russia, America, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Australia.

First time Melbourne based filmmaker Natalie Baker explores the role of the fan community and how it operates on an global scale. 

Everyday music fans share their thoughts about what it is that inspires such devotion and dedication to a band that has sold an estimated 150 million albums.

Meet Me In the Sound explores the key theme of how music can heal, inspire and build relationships, even across diverse languages and cultures around the world and seeks to answer the question - can music change the world?

Interviews with the World Vision Australia and the African Well Fund show the ability of music and musicians to make a difference at an international level, but what about at a more personal level?

In the frank and raw interviews received to date, participants have tackled issues such as spirituality, depression, poverty and child abuse, and how listening to U2's music helped them to overcome the darkest moments of their lives and provided them with hope.
