The Sapphires

The SapphiresT0183306695
1969. Vietnam. Bombs are dropping and the world is exploding in protest. Back at the Tiki Club four Aboriginal sisters from the country catch the eye of a big city talent scout with their Supremes cover band, and they're off to sing for the troops on the front line. But the realisation of a lifelong dream to perform overseas isn't quite what they had in mind. Featuring a live band and Motown hits that defined a generation, this swinging celebration of family joy and heartbreak tells the true story of The Sapphires as they shake it for the troops and push sibling love to its limits.
