'The Sapphires' - Film Screening

1968 was the year that changed the world. and for four young Aboriginal sisters from a remote mission this is the year that would change their lives forever.  The sisters, Cynthia, Gail, Julie and Kay are discovered by Dave, a talent scout with a kind heart, very little rhythm but a great knowledge of soul music. Billed as Australia's answer to 'The Supremes', Dave secures the sisters their first true gig, and fly's them to Vietnam to sing for the American troops. Based on a true story, THE SAPPHIRES is a triumphant celebration of youthful emotion, family and music. An Aussie classic that hits all the right notes. This is a free screening as part of Kingborough Council's Positive Ageing Program.
