When the People Sing
I applaud the audacity of Emily Bissland. She travelled the world – from Warrnambool to Canada to Switzerland – to find an answer to the question: can singing together heal our hearts? There’s so much joy in this audio piece – but there’s light and shade too, and I dare you to listen without belting out a few lines from Toto’s Africa. This longer story holds together and keeps us engaged throughout because every scene speaks to Emily’s central question. I admire that immensely. It’s easy for producers to lose track of what their stories are about, trust me...
