Additional InformationInspired by a true story, director Wayne Blair's debut feature THE SAPPHIRES follows four aboriginal Australian girls as they are transformed into a soulful singing group by a kind-hearted talent scout, and later travel to Vietnam to entertain battle-weary U.S. troops. Cynthia (Miranda Tapsell), Gail (Deborah Mailman), Julie (Jessica Mauboy) and Kay (Shari Sebbens) were four singers with lots of passion, but precious little talent. Recognising something special in the way the girls' sing, kindly talent scout Dave (Chris O'Dowd) offers to shape them into a Motown-inspired soul group and get them out on the road. But when their first gig turns out to be on the front lines of Vietnam - where death has become part of the daily routine - the ambitious young singers realize they've got their work cut out for them.
ReviewsTotal Film - A feelgooder spiced by social conscience, this is one of those underdog productions with potential to punch well above its weight., Digital Spy - Those looking for an injection of feel-good will leave THE SAPPHIRES satisfied., Thoughtsonfilm.co.uk - With a funny script that zips along at a nice pace, likeable performances and, perhaps most importantly, well performed music as its backbone the film succeeds admirably.
