The Sapphires
  • Contest: 2023 Fictitious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame -- Round 1
  • From the great nation of Australia, we have a nice film about an All-Aboriginal female singing group who went to Vietnam to entertain the troops. It is very loosely based on a real life group and the film is equal parts drama and comedy; though a little cliché ridden. Still, for non-Australians who may not be familiar with it, it is work a look.
