It's 1968 in Cummeragunja Reserve, Australia. Dave Lovelace (Chris O'Dowd) is a drunken piano player brought in for a local singing contest. Aboriginals Cynthia (Miranda Tapsell), Gail (Deborah Mailman), Julie (Jessica Mauboy) comes to town but rampant racism persist. Dave and the girls decide to go play shows in Vietnam. The forth member Kay (Shari Sebbens) was taken away as a child to the residential school. The four girls have success, and struggle as they entertain the US troops.
The story is an interesting insight into the struggle and racism in Australia. The best thing is that it shines a bit of light on the racist past. I like the girls. The singing is fine. Chris O'Dowd is a good actor. Deborah Mailman does a terrific job as the toughest girl.
