Story: |
The Sapphires follows four vivacious, young and talented Australian Aboriginal
girls from a remote mission as they learn about love, friendship and war when
their all girl group The Sapphires entertains the U.S. troops in Vietnam in 1968.
Cynthia (Miranda Tapsell), Gail (Deborah Mailman), Julie (Jessica Mauboy) and
Kay (Shari Sebbens) are discovered by Dave (Chris O'Dowd), a good-humored
talent scout with a kind heart, very little rhythm but a great knowledge of soul
music. As their manager, Dave books the sisters their first true gig giving them
their first taste of stardom, and travels them to Vietnam to sing for the American
troops.
