The Sapphires (2012)

Set in Australia in 1968, a quartet of talented Yorta Yorta (Aboriginal Australian) girls are discovered and transformed by Dave, a kind-hearted talent scout with very little rhythm but a passion for soul music. Plucked from obscurity, The Sapphires’ career takes off, and their destiny lands them in Vietnam to sing for the American soldiers. The film is directed by Wayne Blair and written by Keith Thompson and Tony Briggs. The Sapphires is loosely based on a real-life 1960 girl group that included Briggs’ mother and aunt.
