Based on a true story and set in 1968, The Sapphires tells the story of four feisty Aboriginal girls from Australia whose talent catches the attention of manager Dave (Bridesmaids star O'Dowd). A true fan of soul music, Dave steers the girls away from country & western music, shapes them into a tight quartet with all the moves, and lands them a gig in the war‐zones of South Vietnam. There, they sing soul classics for the American Marines to help raise morale while they dodge bullets and learn about true friendship, loyalty and love.
