In September 2002, an extraordinary musical event took place. Two of the world's top choral directors, working with young members of The American Boychoir and the Newark Boys Chorus, made music together before an audience of choral musicians from around the world. They were attending the 14th annual National Choral Conference hosted by The American Boychoir.
“Body, Mind, Spirit, Voice” shows how Dr. Anton Armstrong of St. Olaf College in Minnesota and Dr. André Thomas of Florida State University melded a group of young people into an amazing musical instrument. This is also the story of how the arts can inspire and instruct, helping young people learn the values of hard work, responsibility, and self-confidence.
The documentary was directed by Emmy Award winning producer Robert E. Frye and edited by Markus Peters.

Part 1 - The Journey of Butterfly
This documentary weaves together the music, art, poetry and history of the children imprisoned by the Nazis in the ghetto at Terezin in Czechoslovakia from 1941 to 1945. The poetry written by the children during that time has been set to music by Charles Davidson in the concert "I Never Saw Another Butterfly." Fifty years later, The American Boychoir traveled to Czechoslovakia to perform the concert under the direction of James Litton. A precious few of the children who survived tell their story in the film. "The Journey of Butterfly" preserves the legacy of creativity and the human spirit which emerged under the harshest of conditions. Directed by Emmy award winner Robert E. Frye. 1995 CINE Golden Eagle Award Winner
Part 2 - The Legacy of Butterfly

The story was told in the award winning documentary “The Journey of Butterfly,” incorporating the music, poetry and witness of children imprisoned at the Nazi Ghetto at Terezin between 1941 and 1945. Ten years later, members of the 1991 Boychoir, as young men in their 20s, reunited with survivors featured in the original documentary. “The Journey of Butterfly - The Legacy,” tells the story of the impact the experience had on the Boychoir members.
