THE SAPPHIRES World Cinema

From the Land Down Under comes this inspiring and thrilling true story of a late 1960s girl group caught up in the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement. The film’s screenwriter is the real-life son and nephew of the four incredible women who were discovered singing in an outback pub by an Irish manager with an ear for soul. The Sapphires take their music on the road, battling racial prejudice regarding their aboriginal heritage. The beautiful and talented girls find success on the road and embark on the biggest adventure of their lives, travelling to Southeast Asia to entertain American troops at war. With standout performances from Chris O’Dowd, Deborah Mailman, Jessica Mauboy, Shari Sebbens and Miranda Tapsell, THE SAPPHIRES is a toe-tapping, rollicking crowd-pleaser with dynamite sound and a mighty heart.
