The Sapphires plot
"Follow your heart. Discover your soul."
1968 was the year the world started to change. Riots broke out in the streets all over the world. It was the time of hard drugs, soft drugs, free love, psychedelic music, the shocking murders of Martin Luther King and Bobby Kennedy. The newspapers were dominated by the Vietnam War. For four young Aboriginal women, 1968 is the year that changed their lives forever. Sisters Gail, Julie and Cynthia are discovered along with their cousin Kay by Dave, an hapless Irish musician, with a taste for Irish whiskey and soul music. Dave sends the girls to the war zones of South Vietnam, where they sing classic soul songs for the US Marines.
