"After
silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music."
— Aldous Huxley
WE ARE TOGETHER tells the remarkable and moving story of a
group of children who use music to overcome hardship and loss. Filmed over a
period of three years, it is the story of an orphanage unlike any you've ever
seen, where the young singers of the Agape Choir lift their voices to create
the home and family they so very much need.
If you ever are in need of a good cry, a cry of sadness which turns into a cry filled with joy, what follows is a "Must Read" then becomes a "Must Watch" which will leave you forever changed!
"There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but
of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are
messengers of overwhelming grief & unspeakable love." ― Washington
Irving
"...look at their smiles, witness their optimism and marvel
at the harmony of their songs!" ― Nathan Lee, The New York Times
"WE ARE TOGETHER takes you on an inspirational journey,
through the beauty of song, and the cherished hearts of the Agape
children." ― BONO
"One of the ways we can make a change is by seeing this
film and taking the message to enlighten others." ― COMMON
"The film took my breath away!" ― IMAN
Life has not been easy for 12-year-old Slindile and her
siblings living at the Agape Orphanage in South Africa, where most of the
children have lost their parents to AIDS. These toddlers and teenagers squabble
and stumble just like other youths, discovering themselves, and craving
stability. Having already borne great hardships, Slindile along with her
sisters and baby brother must endure the fact that their elder brother Sifiso
has been diagnosed with AIDS and is slowly wasting away due to lack of medical
care. And yet, when they lift their voices in song, something extraordinary
happens ― they overcome their fears, band together as a family, and find
opportunities for hope.
With unforgettable kids, soaring music, and a plot full of
surprises, WE ARE TOGETHER is a stirring experience that will stay with you!
I have the CD & DVD so I listen to the music or watch it
the old-fashioned way!
"They say that time heals all things,
they say you can always forget; but the smiles & the tears across
the years they twist my heart strings yet!" ― George Orwell
