A documentary about the difficulties of making music in the hottest place on earth!

Music is a universal language, but it is not a simple one. Composing it,
performing it, and producing it are challenges. The art of being a musician
comes from embracing and overcoming those challenges. But in Kuwait and other
countries like it, those challenges are exacerbated by the political and
religious climate. Kuwait's legal system, which is based on Sharia law,
struggles against cultural westernization, and the growing underground music
scene's interest in contemporary Western music is seen as a problem. Heated
Melodies highlights the stereotyping, religious and sexual discrimination, and
other challenges faced by those musicians, following them as well as the many
other young men and women-from fans to journalists to lawyers-that try to swim
against the stream and be part of that world.
