The Sapphires

The Sapphires

If there is one movie that has been lighting up the festival circuit this so far this year then it has been The Sapphires.

The movie is based on the 2005 stage play of the same name and is inspired by a true story.

The Sapphires sees Wayne Blair makes his feature film directorial debut as he makes the transition from TV into film.

And we have a couple of new clips from the movie for you to check out:

Jessica Mauboy, Deborah Mailman, Shari Sebbens and Miranda Tapsell come together to make up The Sapphires while funnyman Chris O'Dowd plays their manager.

The film is set in the heady days of 1968 when four talented singers, from a remote Aboriginal mission, are discovered by an unlikely talent scout.

Plucked from obscurity and branded as Australia's answer to The Supremes, The Sapphires grasp the chance of a lifetime when they're offered their first real gig - entertaining the troops in Vietnam.

For the girls, a whole new world of sex, war, politics and soul opens before them.

The Sapphires is a feel good movie that is set to have you dancing in the aisle with its fantastic soundtrack - one not to be missed!

The Sapphires is released 7th November
