Wide Open Sky
Movie · Music · Documentary

Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Sydney Film Festival, Wide Open Sky is the uplifting story of a childrens choir in outback NSW. In this remote corner of the state, footy is king and music education is rare as rain. Determined to see the children reach their potential, Moorambilla Voices' passionate and driven choir director, Michelle Leonard, strives to open up their world through music. Wide Open Sky takes us into the lives of Kyhnan, Mack, Opal and Taylah, four brave and hopeful primary school children who travel far from home to music camp to prepare for the choir's big concert. They have just three days to learn a demanding repertoire. Set against a stunning landscape and featuring music by acclaimed band Dirty Three, Wide Open Sky is a funny, heartwarming snapshot of childhood in rural Australia. These little voices have big dreams, and the choir offers them the chance of a lifetime.
