Les Saphirs

In 1968 Australia, four musically talented Aboriginal women — Gail, Julie, Cynthia, and Kay — form the soul-singing girl group The Sapphires under the tutelage of alcoholic, Irish talent scout Dave Lovelace. Though the women face racial prejudice, they are sure they are destined for fame. Dave gets them a job entertaining the US troops in Vietnam and, despite the danger, they head out to the war zone.

“The Sapphires received a ten-minute standing ovation at its Out-of-Competition midnight world premiere at Cannes.” “The Sapphires is a warm-hearted delight”
- Keith Lawrence, Film & TV
