WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

A group of women, all of whom have partners serving in Afghanistan, form a support group for each other to help cope with their missing other halves. Soon, they decide to start the very first choir made up of military wives, which throws them into the media spotlight and also serves as a place of comfort when some of them receive devastating news…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

In the wake of last year’s surprise box office hit Fisherman’s Friends comes the heart-warming story of how music and singing helps a group of women cope while their other halves are off at war.
