Wide Open Sky
Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Sydney Film Festival, Wide Open Sky is the uplifting story of a children’s 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 Kyh, 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.

I really enjoyed this film - I recommend it. Inspiring!
Outstanding
Fabulous and heartwarming - a wonderful story of people who are passionate about and love what they are doing!
Brilliant movie for any age group
Michelle Leonard is a passionate person whose love of music is infectious.
A movie that makes you realise that real life is so much more interesting than fiction. The plot is familiar from so many movies - disadvantaged kids achieve their dream - but this is much more heartwarming than any fiction. The kids are so beautiful and so genuine, so far from movie cliches.
Fantastic movie!
