MIFF 2012 The Sapphires Official Trailer #1 (2012) - Australian Musical Movie
An adaptation of Tony Briggs' successful stage musical of the same name, The Sapphires is set in the late 60s when the McCrae girls -- four talented young singers from a remote Aboriginal mission -- are plucked from obscurity and branded Australia's version of The Supremes. The girls dream of becoming as big as their Motown idols and they get their chance when they're flown to Vietnam to entertain the troops, opening their eyes to a whole new world of sex, war, politics and soul.
Directed by Wayne Blair (who appeared in Blessed, MIFF 09) and starring Jessica Mauboy, Shari Sebbens, Miranda Tapsell and Deborah Mailman reprising her role from the original play, The Sapphires had its world premiere at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
The Sapphires is a heartwarming, distinctly Australian tale full of joy, love and laughter, and featuring an unbeatable soundtrack of Motown-era soul music.

[@jeremyphillips7827]

This movie looks awesome! I can't believe it's been out for ten years and I'm just hearing about it now.

[@tula1433]

It was phenomenal! A must watch!

[@NalaLatrice]

I’m a musician and KZbin showed me this today I look forward to watching it!

[@kimberlyrobinson1978]

I just watched this on Peacock. I LOVED it! Never even heard of it h til today 🤔

[@jacegines6929]

This was a great movie, just watched it the other day, the women can really sing and I like how it showed the racism that the aboriginals face. I just don't get how the white people colonize their land and disrespect the natives, so disgusting and it still happens to this very day

[@shevaunvan-hoff4069]

This was how i learned about the Australian history of the aboriginals that i was being taught in school in yr9 and because i'm black, I'm proud to be black plus it's a great movie that should help people realize that black people are just normal with different skin colour and their culture maybe slightly different and they're similar to everybody else

[@jacegines6929]

@@shevaunvan-hoff4069 Even though I'm American, I feel like this kind of stuff should be taught in our schools because these are real world problems that we still have and people need to be educated. I bet there are still a lot of people who don't even know that the original inhabitants of Australia were black. A lot of the white Australians still like to complain that there's too many foreigners "invading" their country but they seem to have forgotten that that wasn't even their land to begin with. Good thing we have the internet now because I'm pretty sure they weren't gonna teach us this in school. And yes, be proud of who you are, there's absolutely nothing wrong with your skin color. Black is beautiful.

[@paysour3]

Absolutely one of the best movies I've ever seen. This movie made me feel a kinship with the aborigine people.

[@SyntvxAP_613]

We’re cousins, we’re just the aborigines of America while they are the aborigines of Australia. Aborigine just meaning first & original people. Do your history the trans Atlantic slave story they gave us was bullshit. Were the Indians that disappeared due to being written out of history through paper genocide and the illegilazation of expressing native culture but we were here before the native Americans that get federally recognized as tribes. We have always been here but after paper genocide we then got told we came from somewhere else and forced into assimilation indoctrination schools to “civilize” us and disconnect us from our land. Ask your grandparents.

What na wonderful true story movie. Loved it. Well done acting. Could not be better.

[@pbroiles3445]

One of my favs. Going off netflix next week, so if you haven't seen it. Plan to watch it soon

[@tula1433]

1:54 this scene was absolutely incredible and so realistic. Her reactions to him dying were so realistic and she is so talented. This film was amazing. Funny yet really inspiring and heartbreaking all at the same time.

Oh I loved DreamGirls, Sparkle and Cheetah Girls

Underrated comment!

[@ronclark9306]

I recently rented this movie and enjoyed it a lot. My only gripe is when they call this a true story. It's barely based on the true story. But an enjoyable movie none the less.

[@damnmuggle]

They said inspired by a true story

[@TheKazadoodle]

What are you saying? It's not true? If so, how ignorant are you!

@@TheKazadoodle I think they meant that these 4 women never existed... not that the racism or discrimination that aboriginals faced and still face are fake.

The original sapphires never went to Vietnam. They actually marched against the Vietnam war.

We are so colorful it would blow your mind. Thanks bunches for giving me a wonderful evening and a good ol case of the warm fuzzies💛

A truly touching story. I first saw it in 2024 and wow. My discriminatory journey is also experienced emotionally. PC TV connection with super golden sound to hifi stereo. Old school Magna Planers...WoW, better sound than life and I know I was a musician.

[@nyonsivisibility]

dreamgirls is better

[@OcarinaSapphr-]

nyonsivisibility It may not have the same Hollywood razzmatazz, but having seen both- it is just as good, possibly better!

[@Steve211Ucdhihifvshi]

Dont bother, its a yawnfest. Mauboy brings her talent and amazing vocal skills but the whole movie is a typical white fella= devil vs the poor downtrodden mistreated for life black fella flick. Not a shred of truth in the movie either.
