Synopsis

This is the inspiring journey of a group of native Taiwanese kids who found their confidence through singing. Ma Bi-de is the principal of a primary school located in Dongpu, a rural native village in central Taiwan. With a background in sports curriculum, Ma is the least likely candidate for directing a choir, but that’s just what he is doing: he has formed a choir made up of children in the village who can’t read music and who are free to switch parts at any time – and winning multiple championships in national contests. Soon, Ma and his unconventional choir faced an incredible opportunity but an even greater challenge: recording an album professionally. Not used to the rigors of recording music, the kids are soon pushed to limit, frustrated by the long days at the recording venue and with singing the same passages over and over again. How will Ma guide these kids and help them concentrate on recording in order to lead them in achieving the dream of a community? A tale that is at times joyous, heartbreaking and full of hope, Sing it! seems to transport us back to our childhood and restore our faith in the future.
