Singing in the Wilderness

Description

When an ethnic Miao Christian choir, hidden in the most secluded mountaintop village in China, is discovered by a government official, it is transformed into a commercial product and becomes a national sensation. As the rest of the world is suddenly opened up to the village, two young Miaos and the rest of the villagers must reconcile their faith, identity, and love against their own desires for—and the temptations of—materialism.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
