United We Sing: A group of naive students seek to discover the true depths of their musical passion on the other side of the planet.
For the YellowJackets, the adventurous a cappella group from The University of Rochester, finding new ways to push the boundaries has always been a priority. That is why, after hearing about a choir of AIDS orphans in rural Kenya, the group decided to fly halfway around the world to an unfamiliar continent to sing with them. The trip left both groups changed forever.
United We Sing is the story of what happened when two choirs sang together, but it is also the story of how people from different worlds—America and Kenya, rich and poor, black and white—came to understand one another through music, and of how empowering others is the best way to drive real, sustainable change..
