In a time of war, an extraordinary group of women turned a song of hope into a symphony of triumph. From the director of Driving Miss Daisy comes a true story of courage, triumph, friendship and strength starring Glenn Close (Dangerous Liaisons), Oscar-Winner Frances McDormand (1996 Best Actress, Fargo) and Emmy Award Winner Julianna Margulies (TV's "ER"). This compelling drama reveals the heroic actions of a group of women held prisoner by the Japanese during World War II. These diverse women from different languages, unite to form a vocal orchestra -- creating a life affirming symphony of human voices.
