THE SAPPHIRES (2012)
WAYNE BLAIR
Plot
It’s 1968 and four young melodious Aboriginal sisters from a remote town, are discovered by Dave, a talent scout with a kind heart, a drink problem and an all consuming love of soul music. Billed as Australia's answer to 'The Supremes', Dave secures their first gig, and then takes them to Vietnam to sing for the troops. Based on a true story, The Sapphires is a gentle, well crafted delight.
