Sapphire interracial movies

Description:Issue 63 The Sapphires Wayne Blair, opens in an idyllic rural setting. A group of young Aboriginal girls run home across the paddocks in the fading evening light to sing for a gathering of family and friends. But this benign atmosphere rapidly switches to terror as white Australian Government officials arrive on the scene and forcibly remove one of the girls from the Cummeraganja Mission community. In these opening scenes, director Blair — making his feature film debut — establishes the lively mix of broadly elaborated history, appealing visuals and musical choices, humour and pathos that distinguish the film throughout. He persuades the girls to switch from their preferred country-and-western repertoire to soul, with the requisite Motown-inspired styling and stage moves. With their new look and sound, and rebadged from the Cummeraganja Songbirds to The Sapphires, the girls go on to win a competition to entertain American and Australian forces fighting in Vietnam.
