We Are Together: The Children of Agape Choir
Slindile, a young 12-year-old South Africa girl, lives at the Agape Orphanage in KwaZulu Natal. It's a home for children, many of whom have lost their parents to AIDS.
She and the other children from the orphanage form a choir which becomes their greatest source of comfort and hope, and which takes them on a journey beyond their dreams. Filmed over three years the chronicle tells the story about sorrow, joy and the strength of the human spirit.
For children like Slindile and her friends at Agape, life has not been easy, but their voices continue to ring loud and clear. As they come to terms with a series of painful setbacks, including the loss of loved ones to AIDS, their spirit stays strong and their singing takes them to places they have never been before.
