#HOTDOCS: “THE VOICE BREAK CHOIR”

By George Kozera

When the voices begin to crack on the members of the Stockholm Boys’ Choir as they approach puberty and decide they wish to continue to sing in a choir as they inch their way to adulthood, they enter what can only be best described as a musical limbo. With the help of an assistant, these young boys tackle songs that best suit their “developing” voices until they are old enough to sing in traditional choirs. THE VOICE BREAK CHOIR is an utterly charming 29 minute long Documentary that focuses on a number of 13 and 14 year old boys who talk openly about their aspirations and dreams for the future. It should be required viewing for mothers who wonder whatever happened to their young baby boys when they reach that age!
