The Sound of Mumbai: A Musical
The Sound of Mumbai: A Musical tells the story of a slum school choir in Mumbai who performed a concert of songs from The Sound of Music with a full orchestra, before an audience of over 1,000 people. At the centre of the story is 11-year-old Ashish, whose wide smile and optimism defy his family's constricted slum shelter. He admits to lacking confidence as he copies out in his notebook 'I will not be self-conscious'. His natural charisma suggests that he could go far if given the right opportunity. Now he's tasked to perform a solo piece from The Sound of Music at Mumbai's National Centre for the Performing Arts, a venue that's normally inaccessible to the poor. He can't help but attach dreams to the event; he hopes to win the affections of an upper-class girl and inspire a patron to sponsor his education. With so many hopes riding on this single performance, the stakes are high for everyone. True Stories commissions and showcases the best feature documentaries from around the world.
