REVIEW: Winner of 11 AACTA Awards including Best Film, The Sapphires is an inspirational tale set in the heady days of the late ‘60s when four young talented singers from a remote Aboriginal mission are discovered and guided by an unlikely manager. This feel-good hit is based on the successful Australian stage musical and inspired by a remarkable true story.
Plucked from obscurity and branded as Australia’s answer to The Supremes, The Sapphires grasp the opportunity of a lifetime when invited to entertain American troops in Vietnam. Their journey of discovery offers them not only the chance to show off their musical skills, but find love and togetherness and grow as women.
SPECIAL FEATURE: *The making of The Sapphires.
