The remarkable and moving story of a group of children who use music to overcome hardship and lossWe Are Together tells the remarkable and moving story of a group of children who use music to overcome hardship and loss. Filmed over a period of three years, it is the story of an orphanage unlike one you’ve ever seen, where the young singers of the Agape Choir lift their voices to create the home and family they so very much need.
Life has not been easy for 12-year-old Slindile and her siblings living at the Agape Orphanage in South Africa, where most of the children have lost their parents to AIDS. These toddlers and teenagers squabble and stumble just like any other youths, discovering themselves and craving stability. Having already borne great hardships, Slindile along with her sisters and baby brother must endure the fact that their elder brother Sifiso has been diagnosed with the HIV virus and is slowly wasting away due to lack of medical care that is available to him. And yet, when they lift their voices in song, something extraordinary happens – they overcome their fears, band together as a family, and find opportunities to better their lives forever.
