The Choral
They were divided by war. He united them in song.
Directed by Nicholas Hytner
Produced by Sony Pictures Classics, BBC Film
A period drama about community resilience during wartime, where a choir becomes a vessel for healing and human connection through the transcendent power of music.
As World War I rages on, Dr. Henry Guthrie takes over a British choral society that's lost most of its men to the army. The community soon discovers that the best response to the chaos of war is to make beautiful music together.
