Synopsis:
在南投信義鄉的東埔，有一個不懂五線譜、體育專科出身的小學校長，和一群天馬行空的山裡小孩，組成了一個克難的合唱團。組織合唱團的最主要的原因是希望藉由唱歌增加孩子的自信心，身為布農族的校長，則是採集部落長老即將失落的古老樂音，用自己獨特的方式書寫下來，再唱給這些孩子聽。這個不懂五線譜的山中合唱團，完全用聽覺記憶學習，這些孩子唱歌不按照譜唱、隨興換聲部，但是這個合唱團每次出門參加比賽，卻都拿下全國第一名。校長這時有個想法，要幫孩子灌錄唱片! 在四十五天嚴格的錄音過程中，我們看到這群山上原住民部落的孩子如何堅強地克服家庭與生活問題。看這群山小孩純真、快樂的唱歌，將帶給我們更多的勇氣和感動。
The Dongpu Primary School choir is truly the surprise story of the year. From a rural area of central Taiwan, and lacking any formal musical training, choir members joined simply because they had a song in their heart. Choir director—and school principal—Ma Bi-de decided that he would not hold tryouts for the choir, but rather would rely on the sprit of these young people to guide the choir’s progress.
In a feat that stunned people throughout Taiwan, they parlayed their talent into multiple national singing championships. Filled with pride at their achievements, Ma decided to get a recording mad of these remarkable youngsters. But will setbacks along the way, or simply the sheer length of the proves, defeat this spirited choir?
A tale that is at times joyous, frustrating, heartbreaking and full of hope, “Sing it!”will transport you back to your childhood and restore your faith in a future that is bright, prosperous and happy.
