Details

In 1968, four young Indigenous Aboriginal sisters living on a remote mission in Australia had their lives changed forever. This was a year of global protest and revolution, as well as a time when Indigenous Australians finally gained the right to vote. It was also a year of shocking events, including the assassination of a prominent figure and the ongoing war in Vietnam.

During this tumultuous time, the sisters - Cynthia, Gail, Julie, and Kay - were discovered by a talent scout named Dave. Although Dave had little rhythm, he had a great passion for soul music and saw the potential in the sisters. He dubbed them Australia's answer to The Supremes and, with his help, they secured their first true gig.

But their journey didn't end there. Dave flew the sisters to Vietnam to perform for the American troops stationed there. This incredible true story is a testament to the power of youthful emotion, the importance of family, and the transcendent nature of music.

The Sapphires is a moving and triumphant celebration of these themes and is sure to captivate audiences with its heartfelt storytelling and powerful performances.
