    Really emotional tale of children in africa

    I just watched this for the first time, its really emotional to watch the highs and lows, and the music is just amazing... and I just discovered that a guy I knew from school directed and produced the film. Goes to show that anyone can really make a massive difference.

    We are together

    This is a great film and if you like singing it is an exceptional account of the ravages of Aids and the poverty in Africa . It shows an Orphanage and how with help the school manages to raise funds through its choir. Great film well worth a watch.

    Poignant and uplifting documentary about an orphanage choir

    Anyone feeling miserable and moany should reguarly take a viewing of this true recent story about the lives of an orphaned family in rural South Africa.

    Many of the children have to live in an orphanage after their parents die. The older children stay at home in hardship. The whole family have wonderful voices and involve themselves in the orphanage's choir.

    The head of the orphanage plans a concert tour to expand the buildings and provide more beds and facilities.

    International celebrities get involved but tragedies befall the orphanage and family.

    Get your hankies ready.

    Deeply moving

    The true story of an orphanage in South Africa and the musically gifted children, their dedicated teachers and carers, and of how, ultimately, their gift for music saved the orphanage after a devastating fire.

    The documentary is told through the children themselves and gives a deeply moving insight into the everyday struggles that go on in the poorer parts of the world.

    It is overlong at 80mins, but this is made up for by some fabulous music.

    Watch this and no matter what your situation, be grateful for what you've got.
